Boards. 1st Edition. Royal octavo, pictorial boards, colour plates, col and b&w illus, endpaper maps, index, pp xxiv, 343. Near fine condition. Challenges the common assumption that little or nothing of scientific value was achieved during the Burke and Wills expedition. This book rectifies this historic omission. It includes the original instructions as well as numerous paintings and drawings, documents the actual science undertaken as recorded in notebooks and diaries, and analyses the outcomes. Importantly, it has led to a re-appraisal of the successes of the journey. Lavishly illustrated.
