Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Account of a Voyage to New South Wales A return of all occurrences during the night was to be made to the judge-advocate; and the military were required to fur nish. The watch with any assistance they might be in need of, be yond what the civil power could give them, They were provided each with a short staff, to distinguish them during the night, and to denote their office in the colony; and were instructed not to receive any stipulated encouragement or reward from any individual for the conviction of offenders, but to expect that negligence or misconduct in the execution of their trust would be punished with the utmost rigour. These watchmen, it seems, were of necessity chosen from among ethe' convicts; and as it was hoped some of them would feel a pride in being distinguished from their fellows, which might give birth to 9a returning principle of honesty, notwithstanding the jeers and scorn of some of their abandoned associates; Mr. Barrington's con duct justified this reasonable presumption.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of New South Wales But in the present Edition the reader will find the still more im portant extracts from the recent voyages of m. Labillardiere, who was sent in search of the unfortunate La Perouse; and that of M. Peron, who visited Sydney between 1800 and 1804, while upon a voyage of discovery made by order of the First Consul of France in the Southern Hemisphere. This enlightened naturalist's remarks, so creditable to the genius and exertions of the British nation, are suffi cient to shew how astonishingly the colony has improved since Barrington published his History, Voyage, &c. &c. Almost every subsequent navigator, it will appear, has either found out some new islands, or something new in the manners of those already known.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical and Statistical Account of New South Wales, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Founding of the Colony in 1788 to the Present Day Almost the whole of the following work was written at sea, on the author's repeated voyages from Sydney to London; the materials having been previously collected for the purpose on these occasions in the Colony. For having, unfortunately, had to spend a large portion of his life at sea, the author has found it expedient and necessary, independently altogether of other and higher objects, to carve out beforehand sufficient literary labour for each successive voyage, to redeem that portion of his life from the mere blank which it might otherwise pre sent, as well as to escape the listlessness and languor into which any person without an absorbing employment is, in such circumstances, likely to all.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative of a Voyage to India; Of a Shipwreck on Board the Lady Castlereagh: And a Description of New South Wales After the hurry and bustle of the gale was over, we had a fine steady breeze; I then began to feel an inward pleasure, and to rejoice in the predilection I had imbibed from my earliest years. We arrived on the equinoctial about eight o'clock in the evening of the 19th of April, when one of the oldest seamen is deputed Neptune; when he went into the head and hailed the ship in the usual form, Ship, hoa! ship, hoa! what ship is that? The chief officer replied, The Hon. Company's ship Princess Charlotte of Wales, and that he would be glad of his company on the morrow. Gladly would I have dispensed with it. On his quitting the vessel, as is supposed, a pitch cask was thrown overboard on fire, which had the appearance of a boat till lost to view. The next morning, about nine A. M., Neptune hailed the ship again, when he was invited on board (from the head). On the fore-part of the gangway and after-part of the long-boat, a boom was placed across, and a tarpauling was hung in form of a curtain, so that when they were in readiness they took it down, and the procession moved on towards the cuddy, twelve of the officers walking in the front, two by two with staves (broomsticks); next followed Neptune's car, (a grating with a chair covered with sheep skins) with Neptune, and his wife and child, (a recruit's child, as we had 250 on board, of his majesty's 46th regiment) Neptune bearing in his hand the granes with forks uppermost, and the representation of a dolphin on the middle prong, and Neptune's footman riding behind (barber) his carriage, dragged by the constables. The captain and officers came out to meet him, and presented him with a glass of gin, which was on this occasion termed wine. After the captain's health was drank, he desired them to proceed to business, and to make as much haste as possible; they then proceeded to the starboard gangway, and Neptune placed himself upon his throne (on the boom, close to the long-boat and wash-deck tub) the slush tub being filled with balls, and lather made of slush, and the barber standing ready to begin his work with a razor made of a long piece of iron hoop well notched; the engine was brought on the quarter deck, and began to play, to force those below that had not crossed the line. I had not been long below before an officer from Neptune came to me, and demanded me, in his name to appear before him at the starboard gang-way, whose summons must not be disobeyed.
