Originally published in Rome in 1851, translated into Spanish and published in 1853, and subsequently into this first French edition. F.15423. Despite the considerable interest and value in the work regarding early European history in Western Australia, and the author's study and understanding of the Aborigines, there was no English language edition until that published by the University of Western Australia in 1977, edited and translated by E.J.
