This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Daily Life and Origin of the Tasmanians The prejudices of party strife could not fail to colour stories of the Black War of Van Diamen'a Land. The long continuance of that war, the dispersion of the unhappy dark-skins, the sufferings of women and the destruction of children, all tended to the break up of the Tribes, the blending of old dialects, the confusion of ideas from intercourse with Whites. As the Last of the Tasmanians has been long out of print, a few remarks as to the history of the departed may not be here out of place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Geography of Tasmania The want of a Geography of Tasmania has long been felt by teachers. Examiners in the public examinations, who have set questions on the geography of the island, have remarked on the ignorance of the candidates of local facts. Nor is this surprising, as with no text work available, teachers have had to trust to their own know ledge, and all have not that knowledge. It is hoped that this little book will supply the want. Consider able space has been given to the industries of the island for it is now generally admitted that this, rather than dry names of places or divisions of the country, is the important and valuable part of geography. A short history of the island has been added, as at the time this book was undertaken no such history was in existence. The chapter on the Aborigines should be found interest ing to the pupils.

Download or read book The History of Tasmania Vol 1 2 written by John West and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-11-16 with total page 785 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The History of Tasmania" in two volumes is the most significant work by the Australian author John West that features the development of the British colonization of Tasmania, the penal system and the condition of the Aboriginal people. The island was permanently settled by Europeans in 1803 as a penal settlement of the British Empire to prevent claims to the land by the First French Empire during the Napoleonic Wars. The island was initially part of the Colony of New South Wales but became a separate, self-governing colony under the name Van Diemen's Land in 1825. Approximately 75,000 convicts were sent there before transportation ceased in 1853. In 1854 the present Constitution of Tasmania was passed, and the following year the colony received permission to change its name to Tasmania, after Dutch explorer Abel Tasman, who made the first reported European sighting of the island in 1642. This carefully crafted DigiCat ebook is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
Download or read book History of Australia Vol 1 of 3 Classic Reprint written by George William Rusden and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-17 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
