About This Item
Journal of a Voyage to Australia.
Col. S.B. Bevington J.P.
F. Shaw and Co, London. Pp 142. First edition, 8vo. SIGNED on front end paper. The condition is Fine, with a clean and crisp text, and the binding has very slight shelf wear. The book is a series of thirteen letters written while on his voyage to Australia. He begins by sailing on the Victoria, "one of the finest ships in the P. and O. Fleet". The first letter written from Brindisi is very descriptive of shipboard travel. His journey from London is by way of the Suez Canal. A very interesting account of travel from London to Australia and return, visiting many places along the way during this seven month journey…all from the perspective of a First Class
traveler.
