Excerpt from South Australian Exploration to 1856 This thesis has been written in accordance with the requirements of the Tinline Scholarship, and it has, therefore, been deemed advisable to preserve the spelling of the original maps and accounts. Thus in the map of Governor Grey's route the name Mt. Schanck appears, while in that of Captain Sturt's Murray journey it reads as Shanks Mount, though the accepted modern spelling is Schank. I would like to thank Sir George Murray, K.C.M.G., who founded the Tinline Scholarship; also the Board of Governors of the Public Library for publishing my thesis, and particularly Professor G. C. Henderson, M.A., Mr. Thos. Gill, I.S.O., C.M.G., and Mr. B. S. Roach for supervising the publication of maps and revising my manuscript. Through the courtesy of Mr. E. M. Smith, I.S.O., then Surveyor-General, I was able to secure much useful information, receiving valuable assistance from the late Mr. Charles Hope Harris, of the Survey Department. Mr. H. C. Talbot compiled the map showing the route of J. A. Horrocks. To Mr. A. W. Piper, K.C., I was indebted for permission to use the York Gate Library. In conclusion I wish to express my appreciation of the kindness of the late Mr. J. R. G. Adams, the General Secretary of the Public Library, and to thank the other officials of that institution, who have given me all possible aid.
