Book excerpt: A Journal of a Voyage to Australia In 1855, my great, great grandfather, Henry Morrison began writing a detailed account of his voyage to Australia. This diary would encompass far more than just his personal observation of the long and arduous sea voyage from Sunderland, England via the Cape of Good Hope, the treacherous waters of the Indian Ocean and the numerous on board deaths and injuries before landing in Melbourne. Henry spent a further 2 years exploring and gold mining in the Victorian countryside around Castlemaine with his good friend George. They endured extreme hard work digging in the blazing heat of summer, frigid cold winters and succumbing to recurring sickness whilst living in a small, canvas tent with limited rations. In 1857, after Henry had had some meagre fortunes on the goldfields, he began the long sea journey back again to England from Melbourne. The diary concluding as he nears the South East coast of England. With the help of a previously unknown cousin researching family history in New Zealand, I discovered that Henry Morrison eventually married and immigrated to Napier, New Zealand around 1858. He unfortunately was killed in 1866 during the battle of Omarunui, NZ. The precious journal itself would eventually be bought to Australia by his migrating son John Elliott Morrison, then handed down to his son (my grandfather) and eventually lost for many years at the bottom of a junk pile of magazines at my uncles’ house, in Bexley Australia, before being rediscovered by myself a few years back.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of a Voyage to Australia: And Round the World, for Magnetical Research Scoresby has, with others, misunderstood Mr. Airy's meaning in a most important particular, and that his own theoretical views were thereby to some extent diverted from considera tions to which he might otherwise have attributed greater importance. If I succeed in any degree in my own object, I am confident that I shall at least be advancing what each of the parties in the controversy valued far more than the acceptance of any particular theoretical views. The points in controversy will be more easily understood if I give a short sketch of the history of our knowledge of the Deviation of the Compass.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1859 edition. Excerpt: ... introduction. The voyage of which this volume contains the journal was undertaken by Dr. Scoresby with the object of observing the changes which take place in the magnetic state of an iron ship proceeding from a northern to a southern magnetic latitude, and of deciding certain questions as to the best mode of correcting the deviations of the compass in such a ship. The object was one of great importance, not only as regards science but as regards humanity. To the love of science and the devotion to the cause of humanity which led Dr. Scoresby to undertake this voyage at an advanced period of his life, he may be said to have fallen a martyr. He did not live to prepare his journals for the press; and at the request of Major-General Sabine, in whose hands his papers were placed by Mrs. Scoresby and his executors, I have undertaken the office of Editor. The materials which Dr. Scoresby left consisted, besides the record of his magnetical observations, of his journal, written from day to day, and of an introductory dissertation on magnetism, of which the ms. was nearly complete. With regard to the publication of the journal some hesitation has been felt. A detailed narrative of a voyage made on a wellknown and frequented track, and diversified by no unusual incidents, may seem hardly of sufficient interest for publication; but there are considerations which lead to the conclusion that the journal may be published, and with advantage, nearly in the shape in which it was written. Dr. Scoresby had some peculiar advantages as the narrator of such a voyage. He had been a sailor by profession, and had commanded several ships in voyages to the Arctic Seas. He was afterwards a landsman for thirty years. In this interval great changes had taken place...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of a Voyage to Australia by the Cape of Good Hope, Six Months in Melbourne, and Return to England by Cape Horn, Including Scenes and Sayings on Sea and Land During the last few years especially, the colony of Victoria in Australia has been in such a nourishing condition as to encourage considerable emigration to that part of the world; and being aware that the previous edition of my "Journal of a Voyage to and from Australia amongst Emigrants" has been useful as a hand-book to many of those. crossing the seas, while at the same time it has been entertaining and instructive to others, I have issued the New Edition much enlarged, by adding more of the many strange and stirring scenes and sayings which attracted my attention, as I passed from stage to stage on my journey round the globe. I have also added to my remarks on passing events, and given a few more hints to those intending to visit Australia, all with a hope that the information and advice embodied in the little volume will meet with the approval of the reading public.
