Prospectus and Specimen Pages of  

Bibliography of Australasia  

and Polynesia  

mXi polgnetfta  

Compiler of “ The York Gate Catalogue an Index to the Literature of Geography Maritime and  

Inland Discovery, Commerce and Colonization Member of the Library Association of the  

United Kingdom, F.R.G.S., F.L.S., &=c., &>c.  

By EDWARD AUGUSTUS PETHERICK  

In One Volume, Imperial Octavo, 900 or icoo pages.  

Price, about £3 10s.  

long-promised Contribution to NATIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHY is  

founded upon an extensive private library of several thousand volumes,  

pamphlets, newspapers, &c., collected by the Compiler during period of  

more than thirty years, and upon original researches made in the  

Australian Colonies, as well as in British and Continental libraries.  

The Work will contain titles and references to all known publications, articles in  

periodicals, and papers in transactions —in any language—relating to Australia,  

Tasmania, New Zealand, and other Island Groups of the Pacific Ocean, since the  

beginning of the 16th Century, including publications issued in the Southern Colonies  

An examination of early and later files of Australasian newspapers and other periodical  

publications, has resulted in the discovery of the names of many writers who have long  

been forgotten, and of mass of Colonial literature —political, religious, poetical,  

scientific, biographic, and critical —literature which, if not recorded and indexed, and  

thus, in manner, made accessible, might soon have been lost beyond recovery.  

The Titles —over thirty thousand —are fully given (with place of publication, date,  

pagination, illustrations, maps, and translations), arranged in chronological order and  

grouped under the subjects, colonies, islands, dialects, &c., to which they refer —  

cross references being made to voyages and explorations and other comprehensive  

treatises catalogued in general sections. The work is thus adapted and rendered  

useful for literary and historical purposes —to the journalist, the statesman, the  

statistician, the man of science, the scholar and the student, as well as to the librarian,  

the bibliographer, and the bookseller.
