WHYTE, Duncan
Sketch of Explorations by the late John M'Kinlay...
Aird & Coghill, Glasgow, 1881. Octavo, frontispiece portrait, full-page map, wood-engraved illustrations; a very fine copy in the original bright blue cloth, front cover lettered in gilt. An exceptionally rare Australian exploration title.
McKinlay led the South Australian Burke and Wills Relief Expedition, which went on to explore north of Lake Eyre, missed its appointment with a ship at the Gulf of Carpentaria, and finally made it to Port Denison. This particular account was published some twenty years later, after his death, by the Glasgow society of which he had been president.
Ferguson could record only a single private copy of this important inland exploration account, and a single institutional copy (State Library of Victoria), while noting that the Mitchell and National Libraries both hold facsimiles. Wantrup could cite only the sale of the Glover copy in 1970, and another copy which changed hands privately in 1976. He points out that it is 'of quite notable rarity... Only a few collectors will ever have the opportunity to purchase a copy'.
Maria, 188; Wantrup, 181.
