From the blurb, 'The author's historical narration covers the period 1824-1854, which saw the rise of the first major urban centre in north-east Australia. The book straddles the period of penal establishment and free settlement and relates the influence of those periods on the emerging city.

The post-penal period from 1842 shows the importance of land sales on the economy and the increase in warehouse and trade facilities. Immigration became an important factor -- 1842 to 1846 saw the phasing out of the convict heritage, while the subsequent period to 1854 reveals the rising hopes of the young city'.. First edition..
