Hunter first sailed to Port Jackson as second-in-command of the "Sirius" with the First Fleet in 1788 and succeeded Phillip as Governor of New South Wales. As an experienced navigator he encouraged the exploration of the Australian coastline, and the early discoveries of Flinders and Bass owe much to him. At the end of 1788 he made a remarkable 6-month circumnavigation eastward from Port Jackson to collect a shipment of supplies from Cape Town and from which he continued east back to Port Jackson. Hunter, like Phillip in his account of Port Jackson, notes the arrival of La Perouse shortly before his disappearance in the Pacific. Ferguson 152; Hill 857; Kroepelien 620.

with the discoveries which have been made in New South Wales and in the Southern Ocean, since the publication of Phillip's Voyage, compiled from the official papers; including the journals of Governors Phillip and King, and of Lieut. Ball; and the voyages from the first sailing of the Sirius in 1787, to the return of that ship's… company to England in 1792. Illustrated with seventeen maps, charts, views & other embellishments, drawn on the spot by Captains Hunter, & Bradley, Lieutenant Dawes, & Governor King. London : John Stockdale, 1793. Quarto, contemporary diced russia, rebacked with new spine, spine in compartments with gilt ornament bling tooling, new endpapers, armorial bookplate to front pastedown of Elizabeth Pitcairn; engraved frontispiece, pp (ii) (engraved title page and blank verso), [vi] (list of subscribers); [ii] (list of plates and blank verso), [viii] contents; 583, with 5 maps and charts (2 large folding) and 10 engraved plates (including the Blake plate at p. 414, A Family of New South Wales); occasional light scattered foxing, a fine copy with wide margins. Captain John Hunter (1737-1821) arrived in Port Jackson in 1788 as second-in-command of the First Fleet flagship HMS Sirius, and was later to serve as Governor of New South Wales from 1795 to 1800. Hunter was responsible for carrying out the first surveys of the Sydney region, and he visually documented the landscape and natural history of the new colony in numerous sketches, several of which are reproduced as engravings in this work. (It is now known that the drawings in his sketchbook Birds & Flowers of New South Wales Drawn on the Spot in 1788, ?89 & ?90, held in the National Library of Australia, were copied from works made by George Raper, a gifted midshipman). Among the plates in Hunter's An historical journal is the earliest published view of Sydney, View of the Settlement on Sydney Cove, Port Jackson, 20th August 1788. The quarto edition of An historical journal is by far the more desirable of the two published in 1793, the abridged octavo edition of the same year having only one folding map and one folding plate. "[Hunter's] journal is a very valuable work on the early history of the English settlement in Australia". (Hill) Ferguson 152; Hill 857; Wantrup 13 Provenance : Elizabeth Pitcairn, wife of David Pitcairn M.D. (1749?1809) a Scottish physician notable for his discovery that valvular disease of the heart was a frequent result of rheumatic fever. A copy of John White's Journal of a voyage to New South Wales (1790) held in the National Library of Australia was presented to David Pitcairn by the editor, and also bears the bookplate of Elizabeth.
