    Description

    First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding

    The first edition.

    An interesting travelogue recounting the author's explorations to Australia and New Zealand.

    The Wesleyan minister Robert Young embarked on an eighteen month long missionary trip around the world, the bulk of which he was occupied in Australasia. During these eighteen months Young travelled 40,000 miles around the globe.

    After arriving in Australia, Young began to preach, and found himself amazed by the spread of Methodism in the colony. 

    Interestingly this work includes an account of Young's experiences gold digging, after he spent Christmas Day one year digging.

    Condition

    In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally, smart. Light bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. A few minor marks to the boards and spine. Very small chip to the tail of the rear joint. Front hinge is starting but firm. Bookseller's label to the rear paste down. Internall, firmly bound, though a touch strained between pages 120 and 121. Pages are bright and clean, with a few occasional spots.

    Very Good
