First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. London, Sampson Low . 1882. Octavo, two volumes, xii, 323 and viii, 308, [32] (advertisements) pages plus a frontispiece portrait in the first volume. Light blue cloth printed in red and gold; top and leading edges uncut; cloth very slightly rubbed at the extremities and lightly flecked; spines very lightly sunned; inner hinges cracked at the endpapers, but firm; an excellent set (and notoriously difficult to find in such pleasing condition). Alexander Tolmer (1815-90) was Commissioner of Police in South Australia in 1852-53. He is best remembered for his 'overland gold escort service from Victoria to South Australia, designed to reverse the drain of currency from the colony during the gold rush'; however, his long absences on escort duty led in part to his being demoted from the job in November 1853. The 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' goes on to describe his autobiography as 'an engaging and egotistical work in two volumes mainly devoted to his [military] service in Portugal and with the police'. This set has the ink stamp of 'Harold Woodlands | May 19 1942' on the verso of each front free endpaper. [2 items].
