The History of Australian Exploration from 1788 to 1888
Issued under the auspices of the governments of the Australian colonies.
Ghost Stories and Mysteries
Ernest Favenc (1845-1908) is a neglected master of Australian supernatural and mystery fiction. Best known for his History of Australian Exploration, 1788-1888, he was also a prolific author and journalist, writing for some of the most popular and important literary journals in colonial Australia. His considerable output is now largely forgotten, even among aficionados of weird and mystery fiction. This book collects thirty-one of Favenc's best stories, many published here for the first time since their original publication; and aims to showcase Favenc's talent as the most important Australian colonial writer of Gothic and supernatural fiction. The stories span the period 1875-1907, and demonstrate the richness and variety of his art, making this a major publishing event for enthusiasts of nineteenth-century crime and weird fiction.

With Moore at Corunna
Met the quick-witted and daring young Terence O'Connor at the very beginning of his military career, when he is sent to Portugal as ensign in the Mayo Fusiliers, his father's regiment. His quick-thinking first saves the Sea-horse from capture by French privateers, then saves a shipment of gold that is on its way to a Spanish general, and later enables him to rescue his cousin Mary from a nunnery. Taking command of several thousand Portugese ordenaças, he turns them into a body of stalwart soldiers who engage in skirmishing and rearguard actions that are instrumental in the war against the French.
