Three 8 page issues. Approximately A4 size, containing a number of different articles in addition to the Australian material, with a front woodcut, plus other smaller illustrations. There are no aborigine or Australian related illustrations. On 25 December 1826, the New South Wales colonial government brig Amity, under the command of Major Edmund Lockyer, arrived at King George Sound to establish a military settlement. Lockyer named his settlement Fredrick Town after George III's second son, Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany, but this name never gained wide acceptance. Instead the settlement and surrounding locality were usually referred to as King George's Sound. In 1832, Governor of Western Australia Captain (later Admiral) James Stirling declared the settlement a town and renamed it Albany, but the broader locality continued to be referred to as King George's Sound for many years (Wikipedia). Note; this is a collection of original articles separated from the annual volume, not a reprint or copy. THERE IS MORE THAN ONE PICTURE OF THIS ITEM TO SHOW YOU MORE DETAILS. Size: Small Folio.
