First edition: quarto; hardcover; 718pp. with colour and monochrome plates and maps. Dustwrapper now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Fine. Limited edition of 1000 copies. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. Jorgen Jorgenson was an extraordinarily talented man by any judgment. A Dane by birth, he went to sea at fourteen years of age, and, four years later in 1798, sailed on a whaler to the South Seas. After twenty months at the Cape colony in South Africa, he sailed for Sydney Cove, arriving around the end of 1800. Based in Sydney, he participated as a crew member of the surveying brig HMS "Lady Nelson" in the exploration of Bass Strait and in the establishment of the first white settlements at the Derwent River, Van Diemen's Land and at Port Phillip. After commanding a sealing voyage to New Zealand, he embarked for England on the "Alexander". Returning to his homeland, Jorgenson was obliged by war between Denmark and England to command a privateer "Admiral Juul" and, after a sea battle with HMS "Sappho", he was taken prisoner. Despite this, he joined two trading ventures to Iceland in 1809 during which the events of the Icelandic Revolution took place. His subsequent life was no less adventurous. An intelligent man with a strong literary bent, and despite periods in English gaols, he wrote plays, satires, and works on Tahiti and Denmark, travel, religion, plus voluminous letters to his friend the botanist William Jackson Hooker, who shared his Icelandic experience. In 1817, he travelled to France and Germany as an agent, or spy, for the British Foreign Office. However, compulsive gambling and drinking led to a steady decline and to imprisonment for debt and theft. He was transported to the convict colony of Van Diemen's Land, thus returning him to the settlement he helped to establish 23 years earlier. He remained as a convict, then as a free man, land explorer, police constable, head of roving parties against the Tasmanian Aborigines, newspaper writer and editor, and died there in 1841. "The Usurper" is a documentary history: original documents are presented, linked by a detailed text, the whole being supported by notes, illustrations, maps, bibliographies and an index.
