Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on the Colony of Victoria: Historical, Geographical, Meteorological, and Statistical
In writing the work, the points I have aimed at have been accuracy, precision of statement, and the introduction of as many facts as circumstances would admit of, compressed into as small a compass as possible. The task of generalizing or drawing deductions from the facts quoted, I have either done quite brie?y or have left entirely to others.
A large portion of the work is devoted to a digest of the statistics of the colony. The information, though nominally relating to the past year, has in many instances been brought on to various periods in the current year.
