The Journal of Ensign Best

edited by Nancy M Taylor

This is a journal kept by an English army officer from 1837 to 1843. It begins with his departure for Australia on a convict ship from England. It also details time on Norfolk Island and in New Zealand. So interesting to get a perspective of the times. This edition includes some colour and black and white illustrations. 

Hardback edition published 1966. With dust jacket, some light scuffing on dj and small tear at top left corner. Some slight foxing on edges of pages but generally in very good overall condition.
