Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of the Colony of Victoria, Vol. 2 of 2: From Its Discovery to Its Absorption Into the Commonwealth of Australia; A. D. 1854-1900
The accidental discoveries of these earlier years had really little value from the scientific standpoint, and none on commercial grounds. They were not the result of intelligent research, and in the ignorance then generally prevalent of mining processes and the reduction of the gold-matrix could probably not have been turned to profit.
