Though I have borrowed from others also, I have been mainly indebted to the larger work on the British Colonies, by H. Montgomery Martin, Esq., an able and impartial writer, whose statements are looked upon in Europe as indubitable authorities.To confine the useful information within the limits Of the hand-book, I have been compelled to abandon much interesting matter, which I had collected in the nature Of an historical account of the Settlement, and merely to present Australia as it is, with the prospects it holds out to the emigrant, be his object Gold-seeking, Commerce, or Agriculture.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
