First Edition. xv (vii), 657 (3) pp, illus. 8 Books with numerous titled subdivisions, list of at least 45 b&w illustrations, Original patterned brown-cloth with gilt design and lettering to spine and brown top text block, lightly warn worn, lightly age-toned bottom and fore- text block. 7" x 9.5". "Marcus Andrew Hislop Clarke (1846-1881) was an English-born Australian novelist, journalist, poet, editor, librarian and playwright. He is best known for his 1874 novel For the Term of His Natural Life, about the convict system in Australia, and widely regarded as a classic of Australian literature. For the Term of His Natural Life is a "ripping yarn", which at times relies on unrealistic coincidences. The story follows the fortunes of Rufus Dawes, a young man transported for a theft that he did not commit, when rendering assistance to the victim of a mugging. The harsh and inhumane treatment meted out to the convicts, some of whom were transported for relatively minor crimes, is clearly conveyed. The conditions experienced by the convicts are graphically described. The novel was based on research by the author as well as a visit to the penal settlement of Port Arthur." Size: Large Octavo.
