Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Australia, Vol. 1 of 3 In marshalling the facts which prove how much error has been accepted as truth with regard to the pilgrim fathers of Australia, I have allowed the actors to speak for themselves as much as possible. An author may labour to incorporate as the coinage of his own brain the wit or sense which emanated from those of whom he writes but success in such effort would be, after all, ignoble, and would rob his page of the dramatic element which makes it lifelike. The day will come when men will be glad to know how the colonizers of Australia lived and moved; what were their daily tasks and distractions; how and by whom troubles were created or overcome by what passions men were stirred from time to time how sometimes the blasts of tyranny were resisted by the growing plant, and how were engendered within it parasites which preyed upon its powers and threatened to bring low many a noble bough fitted to adorn it in season, and to render back the healthy sap which, coursing from root to branch, gives health and life to the tree.

Ireland has furnished two-thirds more immigrants than she should, and of those she has furnished, two-thirds cannot read and write.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Australia, Vol. 2 of 3 Governor Darling arrived in New South Wales in December 1825, after touching at Hobart Town and conveying the instructions of the Colonial Office as to the separation of the island government from that of New South Wales. He was a military man and much influenced by military ideas. A presentiment that he would be so influenced seems to have been instinctive with the leaders of the popular party, - the emancipists and self-styled patriots'. Brisbane had warmed their sympathies by cordiality on his departure, and they were in no humour to welcome his supplanter. The incoming Governor was received like the outgoing king: "As in a theatre the eyes of men Are idly bent on him that enters next... E'en so, or with much more contempt, men's eyes Did scowl on Richard. No man cried, 'God save him!'" Darling bore with him a Royal warrant appointing his Legislative Council, consisting of the chief military officer (Stewart, who had in that capacity administered the affairs of the colony in the brief interval between the departure of Brisbane and the arrival of Darling); the Chief Justice; Archdeacon Scott; the Colonial Secretary, Mr. Alexander Macleay (who arrived in January 1826, and was to succeed Major Goulbum); John Macarthur; Robert Campbell; and Charles Throsby. The Executive Council was to consist of the same persons, with the exception of the three last-named colonists.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Australia, Vol. 1 of 2 Bay is equally certain; and so accurately did he lay down its bearings and position, that Captain Arthur Phillips, who commanded the convict expedi tion of 1787, and who had been appointed governor of the projected settle ment, after a weary voyage of eight months over waters then comparatively unknown, had no difficulty in finding it, and there he cast anchor. He left it however, without landing any portion of his convict cargo. Captain Cook appears to have been as singularly happy as accurate in his designation of places, their character and position. Botany Bay is a remarkable instance of this. By following his directions, the first seekers for the harbour formd it without difficulty. When they had entered, they must have been struck by the felicity with which it had been named, for the name is a perfect indication of the character of the Bay. Nearly circular in form, its waters lap lazily upon a shore that shelves step by step, and foot by foot, into a perfect wilderness of owers. The high trees are festooned and the lower lying bushes covered with them. They vie in colour and form with the richest parterres of the most favoured places in the world. The ground is carpeted with them, whilst the trunks of the trees and the few stones that lie about are covered and concealed by blossoms.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Twenty Years of Australia: A History Founded on Official Documents The story of the Early Days in Australia is one full of interest to many more than Australian settlers or the Australian born. It so differs from the tale to be told of present life there, as if centuries had passed in the interval. Dark as the chronicle may be, it is highly instructive and suggestive. We have in that gloomy and often forbidding picture of humanity a means of gauging the immense social progress of the colonies. Even in the worst phases of society at that remote period we fail not to detect some bright and pleasing features, indications of that struggle between light and darkness which ultimately led to the opening day. We have seen men and women, steeped in vice and misery, from neglect of Church and of State in Europe, emerging from poverty and moral degradation into respectability and purity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of New Zealand, Vol. 1 At one time it was hoped that several persons of great ability and high character, who had amassed much recorded information and had lived long in New Zealand, would combine the results and give them to the world. But that hope has vanished. I learned from one of them, who went to New Zealand in 1839, and lives there now, that on the occasion of a visit to Europe he abandoned the idea of publication, and destroyed his manuscripts. The failure of that project, and encouragement from those concerned in it, embolden me to present the following narrative compiled with a diligent endeavour to test every statement by reference to the most authentic sources of information.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from United Australia, Vol. 1: July, 1900 Mr. Clemens' views are no doubt quite original; but we remember reading something strangely similar in the preface to an old but once well known work, The Mythology of the Greeks, by Thomas Keightley, published in 1838. And Hall Caine's Christian, too, that every milliner's apprentice was thumbing and breathlessly devouring what do the public say of it now It would be difficult indeed to name any kind of merchandise, whether in the shape of soap, patent medicine, bicycle fittings, or women's corsets that underwent so thoroughly commercial a putting on the eve of its appearance as that same Sadler's \vells sort of romance. Let us hope that the average novel reader, who reads just what he is told, and thinks just what other people think, will not turn round toe suddenly on Mr. Kipling. He can just now (just at this moment) command a sovereign a word for the first copy of his work, but when the rocket has determined its parabola, it is impossible to say what may happen.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Records of Australia, 1788-1796, Vol. 1: Series I, Governors' Despatches to and From England The first series containing the despatches of the Governors will form the papers from which the backbone of history will be made. Until the introduction of responsible governments, the Governors being in charge of Crown colonies transmitted full and detailed reports on all matters of major or minor importance to the authorities in England. The early Governors all forwarded general despatches giving detailed reports on many subjects, but about the end of the first quarter of the nineteenth century the practice was adopted of confining each despatch to a separate subject. Duplicates and triplicates of all public despatches were forwarded, and these were made in long-hand either by the Governor himself, by his secretary, or by a convict clerk. In the writing of these, many minor variations occurred in the text and even in the dates, and where these are of importance attention will be drawn to them. Many of the despatches were accompanied by enclosures. Prior to the administration of Governor King, a register of these enclosures was not kept; and when they were received, some of the enclosures were not filed with the despatches, and it is now impossible to tell in some cases which were the enclosures, for instance, Lord Grenville's despatch, dated 19th February, 1791, was accompanied by twenty-two enclosures, of which only seven can be defined. I have to acknowledge my great indebtedness to Professor G. Arnold Wood for reading my proofs and for many valuable suggestions made thereon, which have been incorporated. A series of notes is added at the conclusion of the text in each volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
