What We Saw in Australia (Classic Reprint) by Rosamond Davenport Hill Pdf
Excerpt from What We Saw in Australia The title of our book indicates that an exhaustive account of the Colonies we visited does not come within its scope. Time fell very far short of permitting us to see everything of interest contained in each; what, however, is missing from our description of one Province will probably be found in our account of another, and thus, we believe, we.

Excerpt from What I Heard, Saw, and Did: At the Australian Gold Fields The following pages will, I think, illustrate the accuracy of these opinions. I do not found these remarks upon the opinions of others, but upon personal experience, and as the information which my pages contain presents Aus tralin and the Gold Fields to the reader, practically as the country is, and the emigrant's prospects are in relation to its social and industrial condition, and that to the latest date, he will be thus himself enabled to determine the correctness of my opinion upon the subject.

The Aborigines of Australia (Classic Reprint) by Richard Sadleir Pdf
Excerpt from The Aborigines of Australia The government is administered by a council of old men, the young not being admitted. There is also a class that go from tribe to tribe, and their medicine men. The intelligence of the natives is quite underrated. Their skill and activity in war, and their subtlety as diplomatists, Mr. Lang says, are quite equal to the North American Indian. (having mixed with the North American Indians, I think this is rather exaggerated.) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Australia From a Woman's Point of View (Classic Reprint) by Jessie Ackermann Pdf
Excerpt from Australia From a Woman's Point of View Australia is attracting the attention of the world at the present time. Not so much that it affords possibilities for the pioneer spirit, but because of the process of social evolution through which it is passing, and the fact that it has called women into the councils of men in the capacity of citizens, to aid in the establishment of New World conditions for the people.

Children of Wild Australia (Classic Reprint) by Herbert Pitts Pdf
Excerpt from Children of Wild Australia All the time I have been writing this little book I have been wishing I could gather you all around me and take you with me to some of the places in far away Australia where I myself have seen the little black children at their play. You would understand so much better all I have tried to say. It is a bright sunny land where those children live, but in many ways a far less pleasant land to live in than our own. The country often grows very parched and bare, the grass dies, the rivers begin to dry up, and the poor little children of the wilderness have great difficulty in getting food. Then perhaps a great storm comes and a great quantity of rain falls. The rivers fill up and the grass begins to grow again, but myriads of flies follow and they get into the children's eyes and perhaps blind some of them, and the mosquitoes come and bite them and give them fevers sometimes.

The Real Australia (Classic Reprint) by Alfred Buchanan Pdf
Excerpt from The Real Australia The author is aware that books of this kind are usually written by travellers of more or less distinction. 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.

Excerpt from The Belle of Australia: Or Who Am I? I kept my promises, and the master of the ship was faithful to his word; but I fear that I heard more first-class profanity on that sixty-days' passage than was good for a young man of nineteen, who had been tenderly reared by a loving mother, and who had been in the habit of associating with men who did not swear, except under great provocation. Who I was, and why I was seeking my fortune on the shores of the Pacific, will be revealed in the course of this true and minute history of my early life. Of our passage from San Francisco I will say but little, for a more disagreeable voyage I never experienced, as our men were ignorant and brutal, hardly one of them knowing the duties of a sailor, many of them shanghae'd from the shore during a drunken stupor, while the officers were impatient, cross, and tyrannical, and gave their orders with blows, and the latter usually preceded the former. The ship was a floating hell, yet as a passenger I suffered but little discomfort, and was on friendly terms with master, mates, and crew, and never failed to lend a helping hand in dressing a sailor's wounds, when a scalp was laid open with a belaying pin, fid, capstan bar, or marlinspike. I was looked upon as the surgeon of the vessel, and had free access to the medicine chest, and thus was enabled to soothe many a poor fellow's pain, which might have gone unrelieved for all the officers cared. "Angus," said Captain Crescent one morning at breakfast, the fifty-ninth day of our departure from the Golden Gate, "if the wind holds I shall land you on Australian soil tomorrow forenoon. We are making ten knots an hour, and Hobson's Bay is just two hundred miles distant." "I hope we shall see a good deal of each other while you are in port," I replied. "I hope not," was the gruff response; and then, looking up at the tell-tale compass over his head, growled out to the steward, "Go on deck, and tell that swab at the wheel that if he does not keep the ship on her course I will come up, and belt him over the head with a rope's end. - him! where is he going to?" The steward delivered the order, and returned to the cabin to wait upon the table. "No, Angus," the master said, after the tell tale had showed that the vessel was once more on her course, "I hope we shall part in Hobson's Bay, and that when we again run afoul of each other it will be in China, or the States. Blast the countries where gold is dug out of the earth by the shovelful. It spoils sailors, and makes a captain an old man afore his time."

The Awful Australian (Classic Reprint) by Valerie Desmond Pdf
Excerpt from The Awful Australian There has been so much adulation lately of Australia, Australian institutions, and the Aus tralian people by writers with axes to grind and English politicians with party ends to serve that the people of the Commonwealth have come to believe that they are the salt of the earth, and that their country is Personally, I am impatient of such and I think it is time somebody called upon the self-satisfied Aus tralians to show cause why a little more humility and a little less arrogance were not more seemly. With a view to restoring an apparently lost sense of proportion to the press and public of the country, I have written the following pages. If in telling the truth I shame file Australian this book will achieve its object. Should a bowl of indigna tion be provoked, then will the condition of affairs be proved worse than my pen has power to depict, and nothing will be left but to declare Australia past redemption.

Excerpt from Tarragal: Or Bush Life in Australia The following little work on Australian Bush-life was undertaken by me for the purpose of whiling away the lonely evening hours spent in a bush-hut in north-west Australia whilst engaged in forming a new sheep-station in that isolated portion of Her Majesty's dominions. I do not claim any special merit for the work; but as many of the characters and scenes are taken from life, I trust they will be found interesting to many young readers in the Northern as well as in the Southern Hemisphere.

A Short History of Australia (Classic Reprint) by Ernest Scott Pdf
Excerpt from A Short History of Australia The aim of the author has been to make the book answer such questions as might reasonably be put to it by an intelligent reader, who will of course have regard to the limitations imposed by its size; and also to present a picture of the phases through which the country has passed. At the same time it is hoped that due importance has been given to personality. History is a record of the doings of men living in communities, not of blind, nerve less forces.

The Aborigines of Western Australia (Classic Reprint) by Albert Frederick Calvert Pdf
Excerpt from The Aborigines of Western Australia I am well aware that the subject is rather out of my line, and for this reason alone I can scarcely expect to do justice to the theme. Nevertheless, during my wander ings through Western Australia, in the capacity of a mining engineer, I came across a good many of the natives; and taking a profound interest in everything connected with the colony I resolved to set down in brief and simple form such facts as I could glean regarding this most curious specimen of the human race. I lay no more claim to originality than is due to one who has arranged his matter in his own way, and added a few thoughts suggested and accruing.
