Very faint signature, the "Fawkner" portion has almost completely faded, though still legible. John Pascoe Fawkner (1792-1869), founder of Melbourne, Australia; early pioneer, businessman, politician. He is the namesake of two Melbourne suburbs, Fawkner & Pascoe Vale. VOLUME 1 only (of 2). FIRST EDITION, published 1860. Frontispiece engraving of Macaulay with facsimile signature printed below. With erratum sheet bound in following contents page. Bound in publisher's original blind-stamped brown cloth. Fair only, this volume lacks top half of spine, damage to foot of spine, covers are moderately soiled & stained & worn, hinges tender, binding cracked at page 160, light marginal staining throughout, otherwise a reading copy only. The value obviously lies in the fact that it was Fawkner's own personal copy of a much read/used book, with his ownership signature. Fawkner lived a fascinating life. "He was born in 1792 in Cripplegate, London. His father was convicted of receiving stolen goods & in 1801 was sentenced to fourteen years transportation. With his mother & younger sister, Elizabeth, 11-year old John accompanied his father to the new settlement to be formed in Bass Strait. They joined H.M.S. Calcutta at Portsmouth & sailed on 29 April 1803 in company with the Ocean, carrying a number of free settlers & stores. After Port Phillip was abandoned & the convicts & settlers were moved to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania), the Fawkners lived in a primitive hut at the new settlement on Sullivan's Cove, suffering great hardship & continuing shortages of food. During one period when scurvy was rife, young Fawkner lost the use of his right leg for some months. In 1835 he financed a party of free settlers from Van Diemen's Land, to sail to the mainland in his ship, Enterprise. Fawkner's party sailed to Port Phillip Bay & up the Yarra River to found a settlement which became the city of Melbourne. Fawkner himself landed at Hobson's Bay in October 1835 & at once began to lay the foundations of a fortune that grew to £20,000 in his first four years on the mainland. In January 1838 he added to his trade of hotel-keeping that of newspaper proprietor. His Melbourne Advertiser was handwritten on four pages of foolscap for nine numbers until a press & type arrived from Tasmania, & it was then printed weekly until suppressed because Fawkner had no licence. In February 1839, with a licence, he began the Port Phillip Patriot & Melbourne Advertiser; this later became a daily, & he ran it in conjunction with a bookselling & stationery business. In 1839 Fawkner also added to his already considerable land holdings a 780-acre (316 ha) property known as Pascoe Vale. As a man of property & influence, Fawkner took an active & leading part in the political & social struggles of the time. Fawkner died on 4 September 1869 at his home in Smith Street, Collingwood, the grand old man of contemporary Victoria." (largely from: Hugh Anderson, 'Fawkner, John Pascoe (1792 - 1869)', Australian Dictionary of Biography, Vol. 1, Melbourne University Press, 1966, pp.368-370).
