AUSTRALIA VISITED AND REVISITED:
A Narrative of recent Travels and old Experiences in the Golden, Pastoral,
and Agricultural Districts of Victoria and New South Wales.
By SAMUEL MOSSMAN, Author of "The Gold Regions of Australia," &c. and
THOMAS BANISTER, Author of "England and her Dependencies," &c.
With Maps by A. K. JOHNSTON, Geographer to Her Majesty.
"The narrative is of a truthful, matter-of-fact character. The writers
tell us what they saw, with little if any colouring or exaggeration.
Wherever there is any interest in the things themselves, it is
preserved in the book, whether it relates to the appearance of the
gold-diggings and the diggers or their mode of life--to the places
frequently depopulated of _men_ by the gold fever pervading the
colonies, to the night bivouac of quiet people to avoid the close
atmosphere and riotous companions at the roadside inns from the crowds
rushing to or returning from the diggings, or to many other more
permanent scenes of still or animated life. With the actual are mingled
remarks on Australia, and advice to emigrants, the latter of which is
of a judicious kind."--_Spectator._
"The authors of this compact volume have well worked out the purpose
they had in view, as put forth in the preface, making the book a real
book, indulging in no flights of imagination lest injury should be
inflicted thereby upon the uninformed and ingenuous.... This
straightforward and eminently practical book."--_Lloyd's Weekly News._
