The First Discovery of Australia and New Guinea, being the narrative of Portuguese and Spanish discoveries in the Autralasian Regions between the years 1492-1606

First published in 1906. According to the Preface: "Of the many books which have been published on subjects relating to Australia and Australian History, I am not aware of any, since my late friend, Mr. R. H. Major's introduction to his valuable work, "Early Voyages to Terra Australis," which has attempted a systematic investigation into the earliest discoveries of the great Southern Island-Continent, and the first faint indications of knowledge that such a land existed. Mr. Major's work was published in 1859, at a time when the materials for such an enquiry were much smaller than at present."
