Professor Sylvia J. Hallam FAHA has written a substantial Afterword to accompany a facsimile edition of her classic work from 1975, Fire and Hearth. In the light of considerable interest in this subject we are thrilled to release this work of deep scholarship back for a new readership.

This revised edition includes a Preface by John Mulvaney, and a foldout colour poster of Lieutenant Robert Dale's Panoramic View of King George's Sound and Adjacent Country, 1834.
