Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Light foxing to top foredge. Dust jacket is in good condition with creasing to edges. Some of top laminate has separated from paper backing. Now protected in plastic covering. Interior and binding are still very good.

A comprehensive manual for prospective emigrants, this book was originally published in London in 1839. Its purpose was to attract settlers to Western Australia. It is, however, also notable for Ogles' personal efforts to promote settlement.
