- General note
Title page reads : A journal of a voyage to Calcutta, Java &c. during the years 1815 & 1816 by a lady.
In a paper by Anette Bremer “Plagiarism and Presentation of Self in Elizabeth Spurrell’s Journal of her Voyage to New South Wales 1815-16”, Journal of Australian Studies, Issue 76, 2003, she identifies E.S. as Miss Spurrell whose name appears in the Sydney Gazette of 12 August 1815 under a list of passengers arriving on the Hebe. It seems that she came as travelling companion to a Mrs Eliza Harris, the wife of Dr John Harris, surgeon and settler who was already in the Colony. - Attributions / conjectures
