Book excerpt: Excerpt from Victoria, the British "El Dorado," or Melbourne in 1869: Shewing the Advantages of That Colony as a Field for Emigration On becoming fully acquainted with the actual state of affairs I no longer hesitated to publish the results of my observations in Victoria. If the facts that came under my notice appeared to me, a colonist of old standing, to be strik ing and remarkable, how much more surprising, I thought, must they be to the ordinary reader, who has no personal knowledge of colonial life. One great obstacle to the progress of emigration has been the absolute ignorance and apathy that are to be found among the mass of Englishmen respecting the colonies. They bestow no thought upon them, such as they freely give to the sensational topics of the day. They do not body forth to their mind's eye the great fact that we possess colonies - territories of boundless extent, with soil and climate equal to those of England they do not dwell upon the sub ject with sufficient persistence to enable them to picture to themselves, as an objective reality, the outlines - the form and features - of a great colonial Empire.ranricr. In the sketch which I have drawn of the colony of Victoria, I have studied correctness of outline. Rather than pictorial effect. My aim has been to state facts and results, and to enable the reader to see the country as I saw it myself. I might easily have given objects a certain conlem' de rose tint had I been so minded but it will be found that I have shown both sides of the picture - the dark as well as the bright surface. I have no personal or pe cuniary interest in the colony. My principal object has been to call the attention of the public to the importance of the Australasian colonies generally, as adjuncts and outposts of the British Empire. And more especially to help forward the work of emigra tion, in which I have always taken a lively interest, believing that it is the most effectual means of re lieving the distress that must always prevail in a densely peopled country of limited area - that has no longer space left for its redundant population.

Download or read book Cities of Empire written by Tristram Hunt and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An original history of the most enduring colonial creation, the city, explored through ten portraits of powerful urban centers the British Empire left in its wake At its peak, the British Empire was an urban civilization of epic proportions, leaving behind a network of cities which now stand as the economic and cultural powerhouses of the twenty-first century. In a series of ten vibrant urban biographies that stretch from the shores of Puritan Boston to Dublin, Hong Kong, New Delhi, Liverpool, and beyond, acclaimed historian Tristram Hunt demonstrates that urbanism is in fact the most lasting of Britain's imperial legacies. Combining historical scholarship, cultural criticism, and personal reportage, Hunt offers a new history of empire, excavated from architecture and infrastructure, from housing and hospitals, sewers and statues, prisons and palaces. Avoiding the binary verdict of empire as "good" or "bad," he traces the collaboration of cultures and traditions that produced these influential urban centers, the work of an army of administrators, officers, entrepreneurs, slaves, and renegades. In these ten cities, Hunt shows, we also see the changing faces of British colonial settlement: a haven for religious dissenters, a lucrative slave-trading post, a center of global hegemony. Lively, authoritative, and eye-opening, Cities of Empire makes a crucial new contribution to the history of colonialism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronicling the British pursuit of the legendary El Dorado, Masters of All They Surveyed tells the fascinating story of geography, cartography, and scientific exploration in Britain's unique South American colony, Guyana. How did nineteenth-century Europeans turn areas they called terra incognita into bounded colonial territories? How did a tender-footed gentleman, predisposed to seasickness (and unable to swim), make his way up churning rivers into thick jungle, arid savanna, and forbidding mountain ranges, survive for the better part of a decade, and emerge with a map? What did that map mean? In answering these questions, D. Graham Burnett brings to light the work of several such explorers, particularly Sir Robert H. Schomburgk, the man who claimed to be the first to reach the site of Ralegh's El Dorado. Commissioned by the Royal Geographical Society and later by the British Crown, Schomburgk explored and mapped regions in modern Brazil, Venezuela, and Guyana, always in close contact with Amerindian communities. Drawing heavily on the maps, reports, and letters that Schomburgk sent back to England, and especially on the luxuriant images of survey landmarks in his Twelve Views in the Interior of Guiana (reproduced in color in this book), Burnett shows how a vast network of traverse surveys, illustrations, and travel narratives not only laid out the official boundaries of British Guiana but also marked out a symbolic landscape that fired the British imperial imagination. Engagingly written and beautifully illustrated, Masters of All They Surveyed will interest anyone who wants to understand the histories of colonialism and science.
Download or read book An Historical Geography of Tourism in Victoria Australia written by Ian Clark and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Historical Geography of Tourism in Victoria, Australia – Case studies is concerned with the emergence of tourism in colonial Victoria, Australia. It explores a fundamental set of questions: how does a tourist site come in to being? How does a tourist gaze emerge in a ‘settler society’? How does an ‘era of discovery’ segue into ‘tourism’? And, how was the tourist map of Victoria created by settler colonists? Through the application of the classical models of MacCannell, Butler, and Gunn to construct the history of tourism at eight case studies, this work shows that Victoria’s tourism landscape is dynamic and constantly changing. There are many other significant natural and cultural attractions in Victoria and much more research needs to be undertaken to understand more fully the evolution of Victoria’s tourism landscape.
