Swanston, Charles, 1789-1850. Diary [manuscript].

Title: Diary [manuscript]. 1814-1889.

Diary of a journey from London to Bombay, via Constantinople and Bagdad, undertaken by Lieut. Charles Swanston, 12th Madras Infantry between 30th April and 10th October 1814, when conveying despatches to the Governor General of India announcing the Peace of Paris. Manuscript (contemporary transcript from an original to 29th June. From 3rd July to 10th October, later transcription added in 1889 by J.S. Swanston from the original journal kept in pencil. No entries 30th June to 2nd July). Maps loosely inserted. Title added in 1889. 111 pages in a legible contemporary hand and a further 24 pages by J.S. Swanston, with a page of introduction and a table index giving dates, stages, hours and miles from Scutari to Bagdad. Bound in sm. 4to full calf, gilt back damaged, gilt borders on sides. Manuscript on laid paper c.1800. We have not been able to ascertain whether the original still exists. It certainly seems doubtful for when 1889 J.S. Swanston added the final part, he states in a brief introduction that "the following has been transcribed from the original journal kept in pencil which has been very difficult to decipher in places owing to indistinctness of the writing through age". This suggests that the main first part of the original journal was kept in pencil also. Hence the contemporary transcription made as a lasting record.

Port Phillip Association. Documents.

Title: Documents. 1835 Jun. 6-Jun. 29.

Documents relating to the European settlement of Melbourne and Geelong 1835: 1. A copy of the Geelong deed of purchase made by John Batman and dated 6 June, 1835: believed to be the first made. 2. An agreement between Batman, Bannister, Simpson, Gellibrand and others dated 29 June, 1835. This document concerns two tracts of land at Port Phillip and the management thereof. It goves George Mercer authority to negotiate with the British Government with a view to validating the terms of the agreement in document one. Also it presents the rules and regulations to be observed in the conduct of a colonial settlement. Annexed to this is an indenture of the same date between the same parties, establishing the entitlements and proportions of all members in the assets of the Association, and in particular the land covered by the terms of the Melbourne and Geelong purchases from the Aborigines. Taken together, these two documents appear to be the foundation documents of the Port Phillip Association. 3. An indenture of 30 June, 1835, between Batman, Swanston, Simpson and Gellibrand making provision for the illness or death of Batman before the proper conveyance of the land in question. Batman would convey land to his associates on trust for the Port Phillip Association, subject to the payment of an annual tribute to the Aboriginal chiefs.
