Wanderings in South - Eastern Seas

Cameron, Charlotte
The covers are lightly shelf stained and the book is foxed throughout; it once belonged to 'The Herald (Melbourne)' and its stamp is found intermittently thoughout the book, including on the edge of some of the plates; the frontispiece is missing and it appears a page preceding the back end paper is also missing, though the text is complete. In its favour the binding is solid and unmarked, but I admit it's a copy that is unlikely to win a beauty contest courtesy of the foxing and 'The Herald' stamp. 269 pages. Includes a fold out map of Charlotte Cameron's itinerary. "Charlotte Cameron was described as an intrepid traveller. In that book, she listed the itinerary of places she had visited from 1910 to 1923 where for each visit, she wrote a book and the list include Twenty-four Thousand Miles in South America" in 1910; "The Imperial Durbar at Delhi" in 1911; "Russia" in 1912; "Twenty-seven Thousand Miles in Africa" in 1913; "War Work Lecturing from the Atlantic to the Pacific" from 1917 to 1918; "Twenty Thousand Miles in Alaska and Yukon" in 1919; "One Hundred Thousand Miles in the Southern Seas" in 1921 to 1922; and "Wandering in South-Eastern Seas" in 1922 to 1923......Traveling for her is an adventure. She wrote "when there runs through your veins the blood of sailors, soldiers, adventures, and hardy pioneers, yours is not a temperament that rejoices much in rest. Having seen most of this wonderful world, you have an unquenchable desire to explore yet farther" (The Daily Brunei Resources).
