[++] "In 1857 Mueller (1825-1896) was appointed director of the botanical gardens at Melbourne, where he had built what is now the national herbarium. He continued to make numerous explorative trips throughout Australia. In 1858 the first volume of his Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae, 12 vol. (185882), appeared. With the British botanist George Bentham he wrote a systematic monograph on the flora of Australia, Flora Australiensis: A Description of the Plants of the Australian Territory (186378). His most popular book was Select Plants Readily Eligible for Industrial Culture or Naturalization in Victoria (1876). In recognition of his outstanding contributions to botany, Mueller was elected to membership in the Royal Society of London at the age of 36. He was created a hereditary baron by the king of Württemberg in 1871, and he was knighted in 1879."--Britannica.

Western Australian Parliamentary Paper Number 1 of 1880. 'Enumerative Notes of Plants collected during Mr. John Forrest's Trigonometrical Survey of Nickol Bay District during the year 1878' is the heading of the informative three-page introduction by von Mueller, dated Melbourne, December, 1878. A presentation copy, inscribed on the inside front wrapper 'To Sir Charles Nicholson, Bart, D.C.L., L.L.D, &c from the author'. Sir Charles Nicholson (1808-1903), 'statesman, landowner, businessman, connoisseur, scholar and physician . was an unusual combination of man of affairs and scholar. He led a very active social life but was deeply interested in the classics, history and education . By 1845 he had already begun to collect rare books, antiquities, pictures and manuscripts, and was regarded as one of the most cultivated men in the colony. In 1849-50 he joined Wentworth in pressing for the establishment of a university, and in December 1850 was nominated a member of the original senate of the University of Sydney. The Nicholson Museum in the University of Sydney, and the Nicholson pictures there . commemorate his name. He has aptly been described as Australia's first great collector, and he was also a generous patron of the arts and sciences' ('Australian Dictionary of Biography').

David Elliot Wilkie (1815-1885), Scottish-born physician, 'arrived in Adelaide late in 1838 as surgeon-superintendent of the "Lloyds". Disappointed by the state of the colony, he moved to Melbourne in March 1839 . Soon successful, Wilkie specialized in diseases of women and children . He had been prominent in 1839 in founding the Melbourne Mechanics' Institute (from 1873 the Melbourne Athenaeum) of which he was treasurer in 1856-78. An inveterate collector and classifier of specimens of natural history, he and his friends Sir Ferdinand Mueller and John Macadam helped Andrew Clarke to form a national collection initially under the charge of the Philosophical Society of Victoria (1854). He was later a council member of the Philosophical Institute of Victoria (Royal Society from 1860), and was a leading executive member and treasurer of the Exploration Committee which sponsored the Burke and Wills expedition; with Mueller and Macadam he jointly published seven reports between 1857 and 1863' ('Australian Dictionary of Biography').

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. First Edition. Perth, Richard Pether, Government Printer, 1882, and London, L. Reeve & Co., 1879. Large quarto, 28 pages (last blank) with several tables plus 2 tinted lithographs and 2 colour maps (one folding, 490 × 370 mm); and [viii], 30 pages plus 21 plates (including 17 full-page uncoloured lithographs of eucalypts after drawings by R.

The balance of the first title is 'with some remarks and suggestions on future conservation and management of the timber areas, from various authorities. With a reprint of the regulations and laws in force for the renting or leasing of timbered lands'. The introduction to the combined work, compiled under the direction of Malcolm Fraser, the WA Surveyor General, has this to say: 'In compliance with your instructions, and so far as the information and means at my command allowed, I have collected in a general way such information about our timber Forests as was available, to me, and I have endeavoured to weave this together somewhat in a connected form. By including the valuable Report on the Forest Resources of Western Australia, by Baron Ferd. von Mueller, it will be brought more prominently before the public than it has hitherto been. the drawings give a very fair idea of the character of the Jarrah and Karri forests'.
