Gilbert Whitely's signed copy with his newspaper article summarising the contents of the series loosely inserted. Extremely rare in this original issue state. NOTE: W.R.Govett from whom Govett's Leap near Bathurst takes its name arrived in Sydney in 1827 as assistant surveyor to Thomas Mitchell. Part of his work included surveying on the old Bathurst Road and there is no basis in fact for the popular legend of Govett having been an absconding convict or bushranger. This series of articles was written following Govett's return to England in 1834.
