About This Item
Tokyo / Melbourne & Sydney: Charles E. Tuttle / Paul Flesch & Company, 1967. Hardback small, dustjacket, very good condition (in good plus dustjacket), red cloth boards (gilt lettering), black & white frontispiece drawing, jacket spine lightly faded (minor edgewear, edge tears top spine). 257 pp. The anonymous author ('A Clergyman, thirteen years resident in the interior of New South Wales’) was Rev. John Morison of New South Wales, who spent 13 years traveling in the interior. He describes and comments on conditions in Australia: the bush, pioneering, squatting, droughts and floods, convicts, sheep raising, gold mining, squatters, droughts, matrimony, the depravations of the Aborigines and the atrocious retaliation by settlers. Publication in London had an impact because there were two reprints. This book will interest anyone interested in early Australian history as it presents a glimpse of two countries. (Facsimile edition, Tuttle, 1967, no ISBN in book. Originally published in 1867.)
