Usual library markings. No dustjacket.) Quite SCARCE.Vice Admiral Henry Boyle Townshend Somerville, CMG, generally known as Boyle Somerville, was an Irishman who served in the Royal Navy. He was a maritime author, as well as publishing on ethnography and archaeology. He was shot dead by the IRA.As a lieutenant, Somerville worked on the surveys of theÂQueenslandÂcoast and the New Hebrides, nowÂVanuatu, in the South Pacific, (HMSÂDart, 1890â"91).[5]ÂWhile in Vanuata he carried outÂethnographicalÂwork, which was published in 1894.[6][7]ÂIn 1893-4 he was surveying in the South Pacific withÂHMSÂPenguin. Sounding in theÂKermadec TrenchÂbetweenÂNew ZealandÂandÂTonga, they found a depth of 5,155 fathoms (9,427Âm), the greatest ocean depth ever found up to that time.[8]ÂThey then surveyedÂNew GeorgiaÂin theÂSolomon Islands, also withÂPenguin, and Somerville published an account of the islands and its peoples.[9]ÂHe built a significant collection of ethnographic artefacts from the Solomon Islands which is now in theÂPitt Rivers Museum, Oxford. The collection includes personal ornaments, canoe carvings and some of the tools used to make them, and fishing implements.[10]ÂHenry Balfour, curator of the museum, wrote an article in 1905 discussing bird and human designs in the Solomon Islands, making use of material collected by Somerville.[1]ÂIn 1895, working on the survey of Tonga, also onÂPenguin, Somerville took the opportunity to visitÂNiuafo'ou, and published an early description of the island.[11] Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
