Download or read book Sunny Australia Impressions of the Country and People Classic Reprint written by Archibald Marshall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sunny Australia, Impressions of the Country and People The Commonwealth is not only large in area, but it possesses many features peculiar to itself, which cannot be understood at first sight. A travelling Englishman who sets out to write a book about Australia is therefore confronted by many difficult problems. Mr. Archibald Marshall seems to have realised that fully. What he has to say of men and manners - of city and country life in Australia - is put forward with great clear ness, but as impression only. His views will carry all the more weight on that account. Some very able critics on Australian affairs have lost in force what they have displayed in con fidence, by printing their flying opinions as if they were the considered judgments of old colonists.

The quality of lectures given in an Australian University is determined by the mind of the students only less than by the mind of the lecturer; and with pleasure I take this opportunity to thank the generations Of students, who, for thirty years, have not only made lecturing a happiness, but have also, by kindly appreciation of good intention, well salted with honest witness to evident failure, given reason to do one's best. Chapters I. And VI. Were given as lectures to the Royal Australian Historical Society, and are printed in its journal, Vol. III. Part 10, and Vol. IV. Part 4.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Savage Life and Scenes in Australia and New Zealand, Vol. 1 of 2: Being an Artist's Impressions of Countries and People at the Antipodes Writing as an artist, I make no pretensions to literary skill, having attempted nothing beyond arranging in a readable form the rough notes that I made at the moment; and the constant demands of my profession on my time have compelled me to perform this task in a more hurried manner than I had anticipated. I must, therefore, claim indul gence for any marks of crude or hasty composition, from those readers who are accustomed to the studied paragraphs and flowing periods of aecom plished writers.

Download or read book Five Years Under the Southern Cross written by Frederic C. Spurr and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Five Years Under the Southern Cross: Experiences and Impressions Let the reader procure a map of the globe and carefully examine the situation Of Australia from this point of view; and if he has never observed it before, it will probably come home to him with something of a Shock. From Adelaide to Capetown or Durban is a matter of fourteen or fifteen days' good steaming. From London to Capetown is no quicker, if as quick. And that the present average rate of steaming between Durban and Australia can easily be accelerated is clearly proved by the fact that the new White Star steamer Ceramic recently accomplished the journey from Liverpool to Melbourne via the Cape in two days less than an Orient steamer which left London on the same day and proceeded by the Suez route. It is all a question of coal, and in time of need the consumption of coal would not be a primary con sideration. Still follow the map, and observe that the distance between Sydney and Vancouver is little greater than that between England and Vancouver. The whole of Western Canada is open to traffic with Australia, and there is no great stretch of country to cross by rail. Here, again, an accelerated steamer service would bring Sydney and Vancouver within fifteen or Sixteen days of each other.

He knows that it is the easiest thing possible for your up-to-date journalist to rush across to japan or Siberia and to be back in six months with the mss. Of a book that will exhaust the subject. He knows this; and he is bound to admit that he may be lacking in that breezy and picturesque point of view which follows naturally on an acquaintance of ten weeks, but is liable to vanish with a knowledge of ten years.

Download or read book In Australian Wilds written by Charles Barrett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Australian Wilds: The Gleanings of a Naturalist Mr. Barrett has in late years seen and studied strange phases of Nature in other lands - in Egypt, in Sinai, in Palestine - where one may still check his impressions by reference to the first book of Nature. And at the end of it he has come back, not to tell us of war, either in its romance or its realities, but to drop quietly into the old haunts and seclusions and give us in his first published words just the old hobby and the old home things. The one thing which all his old friends and admirers would have wished is that everyone who takes up this book could know the author of it as we do. It would have added much to their enjoyment and understanding of his work. He is a tireless, even a daring hunter, without the hunter's limitations in daring most only for the things that are good to kill and to eat. The author, though he has what the scientist is pleased to call attainments, is in no sense a cabinet naturalist. His book is popular, which means that it is human. The actual anatomy of bird or beast appeals to him less than its habits, its activities, and, above all, its living rights, in Nature's wonderful scheme of things. The name of a thing - the point where scientific knowledge so often begins and ends - is of less importance to him than the thing it self. It is a book to read and keep for company's sake, in the same sense that a picture is so often aptly described as good to live with.
