Brown cloth over boards with letters in gilt within a gilt cartouche on the front cover. Wear to extremities with the corners just rubbed through, top and bottom of spine just beginning to fray, covers quite faded and somewhat soiled, gilt still bright, folding map and folding chart both in very good condition, previous owner's name, address and date on the rear of the frontispiece [Mr. Duncan Falconer Coupar-Angus, Perthshire N. 13 (N.B?) Scotland May 12th 1840], front hinge archivally reinforced with a piece of Japanese tissue, an occasional minor stain here and there, dampstain along bottom of folding map but not affecting the contents, title page soiled where it was not covered by the map, dampstain to the top of the last four pages but not affecting page contents, four pencil drawings on the rear free endpaper which bear the name "Willie Falconer" and appear to depict a young male in the clothing [sailor's?] of the era [Not clear whether name is that of the subject or artist, probably former.], just hints of foxing, else very good to near fine with no internal markings. Henry Capper was the emigration clerk to the Colonization Commissioners, South Australian Colonization Office in London who founded the South Australian Record ( 1837 ), a periodical published in London devoted to news from South Australia for the benefit of intending migrants and investors.

Both books went through many editions. This is a rare piece of South Australianana. Despite obvious similarity in titles of their respective books, there appears to be no connection between Henry Capper and the Orientalist John Capper F.R.A.S., author of The Emigrant's Guide to Australia, which is mostly concerned the gold fields of New South Wales and Victoria. William Falconer (1810-1891) of Fife, Scotland. He died in 1891 at Williamstown, Victoria, Australia. Is he "Willie Falconer" of the drawings in this book.…
