Publisher: [Byfleet] ([5 Farm Close, Byfleet, Surrey]) : [The editor], 1979. ------------------- Details from the Lanyon-Orgill volume: First voyage: H.M.S. Endeavour 1768-1771: 13 AUSTRALIA-BOTANY BAY (Monkhouse, William Brougham) MS. Lanyon 8a Cook sighted the east coast of Australia on April 19th, 1770, near Cape Everard, on the south-east coast of Victoria. Although he saw natives, no attempt was made to go ashore, and he sailed northwards .... Over a week later he was off Botany Bay, and ... went ashore on April 29th, ‘accompanied by Mr Banks, Dr Solander and Tupia (the Tahitian who had come with them). ’Cook stayed at Botany Bay for just over a week but apparently neither Banks nor Solander mande any record of the language. However three short lists are preserved inb a single-leaf manuscript in the Lanyon collection, compiled by Monkhouse, Smith and Hicks. ’William Monkhouse, a surgeon, is described by Beaglehole (i. p.594) as ‘apparently a man of some professional merit, and a good observer’. His vocabulary, like those recorded by Smith and Hicks, represented one of the Kuri languages, spoken in the central coastal region of New South Wales Father Wilhelm Schmidt ... noted noted that there was considedrable admixture with the Yuin languages, spoken to the south of Sydney (... 1919, p. 96), but these three vocabularies all illustrate the South Kuri language.’ ’In all three vocabularies [[Monkhouse, Smith, Hicks]] the later equivalents [i.e. the ones so identified in this JS database] are derived from Schmidt or manuscript material in my own collections, for which I have been indebted to the lated Dr W.G. Ivens.’ ====================== JS LIST LOCATION: In Sydney Aboriginal: Early Readngs ringbinder; wordlist Australia Botany Bay (Monkhouse, Smith, Hicks) pp. 33-35; also in Word Lists A-L ringbinder, under 'Hicks'.
