Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Small 8vo. pp. 50 (including ads. pp. 42-50); illusts., one sketch map, port. of author to final leaf; minor soiling, else very good in the original dark chocolate brown paper wrappers, lettered in gilt to upper wrapper. Benson was a Fellow of the RGS, and from his Preface, it appears t…hat this booklet was distributed at his lectures. It describes his voyage from Southampton to Buenos Aires with stops at Pernambuco and Rio da Janeiro, his passage across the Andes by train, to Valparaiso. The booklet is scarce - a variant edition is held by Yale, but this version appears to be unrecorded.

Facsimile edition, limited to 250 copies - this copy one of 25 copies in full golden kangaroo hide by Peter Marsh, Dove Bindery, Melbourne. Presentation copy, inscribed as such in blue ink on the limitation page and further inscribed by the editor P. Benson Walker on the front endpaper: "To Dot - / with my best wishes / P. Benso…n Walker / 21 July '83". Octavo. The boards ruled in gilt with embossed map of Tasmania to the upper board; the spine with five raised bands and titles in gilt. Marbled endpapers by Douglas Cockerell and Son, Cambridge. The text, printed on high-quality laid paper, comprising a full facsimile of the illustrated London edition of 1856, including the original 8 tinted plates, map and in-text wood-engraved illustrations. A near fine copy, the binding square and tight with a very minor scuff to one of the spine bands. The contents with the odd minor mark to the edges of the textblock and a tiny nick to the margin of one of the front endpapers are otherwise clean and crisp throughout. A scarce limitation of this nicely produced facsimile of Stoney's account of Tasmania in the mid nineteenth century, handsomely bound by Peter Marsh's Dove Bindery. First published in Hobart in 1854, without illustrations, the present facsimile reproduces the illustrated London edition, first published by Smith, Elder & Co. in 1856. [Tasmania Facsimile Editions No. 6].
