Walter. Brodie
Pitcairn's Island, and the Islanders in 1850... Together with Extracts from his Private Journal and a Few Hints upon California,...
Whittaker, London: 1851 8vo. Lithographic frontispiece of the author and two plates, diagram in text. Original green grained cloth, paper label, a very nice copy. Second edition. Brodie, while on his way from New Zealand to the California gold fields, was stranded on Pitcairn when his vessel was blown offshore. Includes a “List of ships which have touched Pitcairn since 1808”, and a list of the inhabitants of Pitcairn. Hill notes that two re-impressions, the second and third editions, appeared in the same year as the first. Despite this, copies of all three are uncommon in collectible condition. Hill p. 34, Howes B-797
