179 (HARRIS, Alexander., but really Samuel SIDNEY). Settlers and Convicts; or, Recollections of Sixteen Years’ Labour in the Australian Backwoods. By An Emigrant Mechanic. London: C. Cox, 1847.

(pp. xii, 5-436). 1st edition. F. 4529. NOTE: Early Australian equivalent of Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, long believed to be the product of a mysterious Alexander Harris, the work is in fact by Samuel Sidney (1813-83), an English publicist who dealt with emigration, livestock, and railways. The details of colonial life and experience are so full and fit so well with contemporary accounts that the work might serve as social history. Sidney apparently gained some of his information from his brother John, who returned to England in 1844, after six years in Australia. Together they edited the ‘Emigrants Journal’ 1848-50. Sidney is perhaps better known for his ‘The Three Colonies of Australia, 1852.’ $350

From Brazil the vessel was ordered into the Pacific to search for the American frigate Essex, then threatening the British whalers in those waters. Various places on the coast of Chile and Peru were visited, and likewise the Galapagos Islands. The writer excuses certain predatory practices on the part of the ladies of Payta in regard to the ship’s silver, by saying that Anson, years before, had done the same thing to the property of their ancestors! $3,000
