Synopsis

Title: Australia, Tasmania, And New Zealand By an Englishman
Author/Publisher: D Puseley (Saunders & Oatley)
Publication Year: 1857
Format: Hardcover

Published in 1857, D. Puseley's *Australia, Tasmania, And New Zealand By an Englishman* offers a contemporary and considered British perspective on the burgeoning colonies of Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand. This substantial work of non-fiction provides a valuable snapshot of these distant lands during a pivotal era of colonial expansion and development.

Authored by an 'Englishman', the book likely delves into the social, economic, and political landscapes of these regions as they were perceived by an observer from the Mother Country. It serves as an important historical document, chronicling the early establishment and progress of these significant British territories.

• Early Colonial Development: The volume tracks the 'rise and progress' of the colonies, providing insights into their initial settlement, economic growth, and the challenges faced in establishing British influence in the Southern Hemisphere.
• Colonial Directory: A notable feature of the work is the inclusion of a colonial directory, offering practical information and details pertinent to the inhabitants and those interested in migrating to or investing in the colonies.
• British Imperial View: Written explicitly 'By an Englishman', the book presents a distinctively British viewpoint on colonial life, administration, and the relationship between the colonies and the Mother Country.

As an original 1857 publication, this hardcover volume stands as a primary source for understanding nineteenth-century Australian, Tasmanian, and New Zealand history. Its unique 'Englishman's' perspective and inclusion of practical information like a colonial directory make it a fascinating acquisition for collectors of Australiana and those studying the British Empire.
