This might have been intended as an insinuation that Phillip had gone to Rose Hill on a pleasure excursion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of New South Wales, Vol. 1: From the Records The attainment by the colony of the Centennial period of its existence, appeared to the Government of New South Wales an appropriate occasion for the preparation, at the public cost, of a comprehensive history, embodying information obtainable from all known sources, and of such an authentic character as to form a reliable basis for the labours of the future historian. The duty of preparing this important work having been entrusted to me, it seemed necessary, in order to do justice to the valuable collection of records placed in my hands by the Government, to make them the groundwork of a narrative written on an essentially different plan from that of any previous one on the subject. In no account of the country yet published have the records relating to its early years been made use of, at any length, There is but one in which they are quoted or referred to; but the plan on which it was written did not permit of extensive references to them, and consequently an occasional paragraph from the despatches furnishes the only indication of the mine beneath. At the same time, the exigency of space apparently required the author to condense the history of the colony to an extent which rendered any adequate treatment of the subject impossible. The narrative of events from 1787 to 1792 - the term of Phillip's command - is compressed into some eighty pages.

Download or read book A History of New South Wales Vol 1 of 2 written by Thomas Henry Braim and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of New South Wales, Vol. 1 of 2: From Its Settlement to the Close of the Year 1844 The nature and object of the Work now issued to the world are sufficiently explained in the opening Chapter. The toils of an Author in Australia are not of that pleasing character, which suggested to the poet the expression "Labor ipse voluptas." While his fellow-citizens, the Great Republic of Letters at home, trim their lamps at leisure, and relax their bows, when Apollo ceases to be propitious, the Author in this hard-working country is compelled to pursue his task under the pressure of daily avocations; his lamp often expires while his labours are incomplete, and his bow is broken from too great severity of tension. I have not been exempted from the general sentence. My professional calls are neither few, nor light; and such is the best apology I have to offer for imperfections, which the critical reader will not fail to detect. Let this candid confession bespeak his indulgence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Literature in New South Wales Classic Reprint written by G. B. Barton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literature in New South Wales In the first place, it has not proved an easy matter to procure the necessary material. No collection, in the interest of the public, has yet been made of the widely scattered mass of books and papers which constitute our literature. Every one knows how rapidly these things are apt to disappear. Newspapers and magazines are thrown aside as soon as they are read. Books too often share the same fate. Thus it happens that, in the course of a few years, it becomes almost a hopeless task to recover these neglected treasures. However absurd it may seem to say so, it is nevertheless true that there is already a field for literary antiquarianism among us, and more than one antiquarian is vigorously at work. The collection made by the late Mr. Justice Wise, imperfect as it is, amply demonstrates this truth. Without the assistance of that collection, the facts gathered together in this work could never have been obtained. Much of our periodical literature has vanished. Portions of it may be found in dusty corners of public libraries, and other portions in the hands of private collectors. Were they thrown together, we should possess ample means for estimating our progress in letters, as well as a valuable source of information on our past history. It is to be hoped that this will be accomplished before it becomes too late to attempt it. Such a collection has already been made in Victoria, where the importance of local publications, as materials for History, is fully felt.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of Sydney: The Capital of New South Wales There are some heart-entwining hours in life, With sweet seraphic inspiration rife, When mellowing thoughts, like music on the ear, Melt through the soul, and revel in a tear. And such are they when, tranquil and alone, We sit and ponder on long periods flown, And, charmed by Fancy's retrospective gaze, Live in an atmosphere of other days; Till friends and faces, flashing on the mind, Conceal the havoc Time has left behind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Productions, Industry, and Resources of New South Wales As recent events will cause the regards of the whole civilized world to be fixed upon this colony as a field for enterprise, it is absolutely necessary that accurate information relative to the extent and nature of that field should be provided. It is equally necessary that this information should be given in a plain and practical shape. Our desire, therefore, has been to produce such a work as may be read and understood by all. The use of scientific terms and phrases, with which the ordinary reader is not likely to be acquainted, has consequently been, as much as possible, avoided.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Account of the English Colony in New South Wales A few changes made by the printers deserve to be noted. Catchwords at the bottom of the page, surviving from the Old days Of parchment rolls, and still (or recently) in use in an Old-fashioned review, disappear between the first and second editions; that was a sensible change that was accomplished in a space Of six years. The frequent use Of capitals in old books, still found in German substantives, is on the decline in the abridged edition, and the Eastern Coast of the first edition becomes the east coast of the second. The substitu tion of governor for Governor suggests transatlantic models. The punctuation, finally, has been improved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wealth and Progress of New South Wales: 1887-88 ON the a6th January of the present year Australasia completed its first hundred years, as part of the civilised world. Viewed from the standpoint whence history is usually written, its record will appear singularly uneventful, being marked by none of those disturbing elements, which so often accompany the building up of nations, and which the historian delights to chronicle. The history of this continent is comprised almost entirely in that of its industrial progress. Twenty-five years after Captain Phillip planted the British flag on the slopes of Sydney Cove, the wealth of Australasia had reached one million sterling, in 1837 it had increased to twenty-six millions, in 1862 to one hundred and eighty-one millions, and in 1887 to one thousand and fifteen millions, reckoning only the private wealth of the people. The ratio of progress thus exhibited, is probably greater than that of any other people during the first century of their national life.

Download or read book Admiral Phillip written by Louis Becke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-02 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Admiral Phillip: The Founding of New South Wales It ought not to lack interest on this account; for it tells the story of the beginning of Greater Britain in the South. Of the personality of Phillip, as we have said, little is really known. He was an obscure naval captain selected by the Govern ment of the time to establish a penal settle ment at the other side of the world. He landed on the shores of a country which, to all his companions, appeared a most forbid ding and unpromising land - one that would never be worth anything to anyone.' Phillip, a few months after his arrival, wrote to Eng land to assure his superiors that it would prove the most valuable acquisition Great Britain ever made.' For these prophetic words alone, the man who uttered them, so far as we can come to a knowledge of him, is worth knowing. Such an understanding of his character as can be gathered by industry of research, this book endeavours to furnish.
