Narrative of a Residence in New Zealand / Journal of a Residence in Tristan da Cunha Blue cloth boards with gilt lettering on spine. Page dimensions: 217 x 138mm. [Reference: c.f. Bagnall 1757 (for the first edition of "Residence in New Zealand") - "The Narrative crisply depicts the set scenes such as tatooing, the haka, a hui to discuss peace or war, the grimmer aspects of eliminating an expendable slave or errant wife, but an almost pastoral glimpse of village agriculture."] A nice clean copy
