This is a rare or used book from the Berkelouw Rare Books Department.

London: George Newnes 1899. Sm. 8vo. Orig. illust. cloth. (xx 396 32pp.). With portr. 10 full-page plates numerous text-illusts and adverts. 1st ed. Small name stamp on title otherwise a fine copy. NOTE: This work created a world sensation. The author recounts his early life his education and his coming to Australia. The adventures were vouched for as fact but as narrated they are beyond the bounds of credibility. After being shipwrecked in the Arafura Sea he reaches Australia and marries the woman 'Yamba'. He spends nearly 30 years among the Aborigines of Northern and N-W Australia. The author born in Switzerland in 1844 has been called the modern 'Munchausen' and this work has been compared to Defoe's Robinson Crusoe.
