Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. 8vo. ix, 227pp, 4pp b/w plates, appendix: List of books in Elizabeth Farm, 1854, bibliography, index. Papered boards in dust-jacket. From the Introduction, This is the study of 'a pioneer woman whose colonial experiences began with the arrival of the Second Fleet in Sydney in 1790 and ended with her death in 1850, on the eve of the gold discoveries. Because one or more members of her family were continually in England from 1797 when Edward, the eldest son, was sent home to school, and they were much in Elizabeth Macarthur's mind, the scene shifts continually between Australia and Europe'.
