Présentation de l'éditeur
But the important position held by my late son, as second in command in what is now so well-known as theB urke and Wills Exploring Expedition across the Island Continent of A ustralia; the complciated duties he undertook as A stronomer, Topographer, Journalist, andS urveyor; the persevering skill with which he discharged them, suggesting and regulating the march of the party through a waste of eighteen hundred miles, previously untrodden byE uropean feet; his courage, patience, and heroic death; his self-denial in desiring to be left alone in the desert with scarcely a hope of rescue, that his companions might find a chance for themselves; these claims on public attention demand that his name should be handed down to posterity in something more than a mere obituary record, or an official acknowledgment of services.
