"Descriptive account of the panoramic view, &c. of King George's Sound, and the adjacent country"

pamphlet written in 1834 by Robert Dale, containing description and commentary on the Panoramic View of King George's Sound, Part of the Colony of Swan River, a panorama of King George's Sound painted by Robert Havell.
