There are two major creases to the lower right-hand corner of the front panel and faint creases to the top right-hand corner of the same panel and to the lower left-hand corner of the rear panel. Reading creases to either side of the spine and to the spine itself. Browning of the text block edges and light age toning of the internal text as well. A list, according to New Zealand humourist Barry Crump, of the various forms of bastards that he has met. From the actual bastard -- whose parents were not married through to many other forms of bastardry. Digital image available upon request to help assess condition. Humour Reasonable

Paul Flesch and Company Melbourne 1967 Reprint
12mo - up to 7 ¾" tall - Duodecimo Red Cloth Gilt XIII, 258pp., publisher's foreward, preface. Black and white frontispiece, reproduction of 'Gold Diggings' Ararat, by J. Roper. Red cloth boards with gilt writing on front panel and on spine, also on the front panel is embossed illustration showing a kangaroo done in Aboriginal manner. Coloured endpapers.

This book was first published in the 1870s, and proved so popular it was reprinted three times in a space of 27 years. The author was subsequently found out to be Reverend John Morison, the first Presbyterian minister to settle in New South Wales. To the modern reader it allows us to see the conditions that the early settlers had to endure when opening up Australia, "among his observations, Reverend Morison refers to the awesome privations of the early settlers, and tells his readers 'How to Survive in the Bush,' information that must have had considerable impact in England.".
