Part 1 contains the Introduction and opening to Chapter I (Outfit to take Abroad), Part 2 the remainder, and the opening to Chapter II (Boats, Rafts, and Make-Shift Floats).

Note: Shifts and Expedients was first published in 1868 in serial form (of 17 parts), with the first book form published in 1871, a 2nd edition was published in 1876, and a facsimile reprint published in 1975 - all of these now uncommon. This is a bulky work involving Baines in a great deal of exacting preparatory work. He contributed the major part of the text and practically all the wonderful illustrations, some of which he cut on wood, having taught himself the art. William Lord and Thomas Baines intended Shifts and Expedients to be a wide-ranging manual of instruction on the art of surviving in, and enjoying, the great outdoors of the nineteenth century. Pooling their considerable experience of strange lands they produced an encyclopaedia of practical living for the aspirant explorer of a hundred years ago. Everything is explained: wagons and boats, horses and oxen, tents and firearms, hunting and fishing, observing and collecting, carpentry and metal-working, camping requisites, bush cuisine, medical improvisation, the best ways to cross rivers, to move heavy objects, to build huts.
