Item description from seller

xix, 401pp, index, notes, appendices, bw ills, maps. Brown cloth in jacket. Some very small nibbles to top and bottom of front flap, otherwise an excellent copy. King's journal does something no other First Fleet journal does: it gives a day-by-day account of a colony's struggle for survival. While King writes of Norfolk Island, it is fair to say that the settlement at Sydney Cove faced similar struggles, but nobody in Sydney made such a detailed record. Size: 4to.
