This series consists of a small undated volume however the watermark on the paper is 1854. The book belonged to Mr.(Carl) Otto Neuhauss, a German merchant. Mr Neuhauss was a shipping agent sent out to Melbourne by the Godeffroy Company. He left from Hamburg on the Dockenhuden in 1850. This record documents part of the process of building the collection of the Melbourne Public Library in the 1850s and 1860s, to the purchase of books from overseas.
