“Completely refurbished volume rather than a simple new edition”. Maps and illustrations in the 1982 book have been added to or enhanced. Fully revised and updated from the 1982 edition, this book remains the definitive work of the French contribution to the discovery and settlement (by Britain) of Western Australia. Many new and historical colour plates and maps only add to the outstanding importance of this book.”
Pictorial boards. No dustjacket (as published).
