"Samuel Sidney developed an interest in the Australian colony after the emigration of his brother John to New South Wales. Samuel and John established the magazine Sidney's Emigrant Journal, and worked together on two books concerning Australian emigration. The present work is an excellent description of Australia's contemporary state, where Samuel Sidney is clearly influenced by both Caroline Chisholm and Alexander Harris. He argues that the Australian colonies are ideal for working class emigration. Already in the introduction it becomes clear that Sidney is very anti-Wakefield, which makes it an important document in the debate between competing proposals for emigration. Apparently Sidney was very well-informed, he had access to otherwise inaccessible primary sources, and the verbatim transcripts add considerably to the book's value. Sidney's work is a full guide, giving excessive and detailed information on one of the most interesting world-regions."--Abebooks website.

In 1788, Great Britain founded a colony in Australia to swallow up its criminals. And swallow them it did – more than 160,000 men and women were transported to the Australian colonies over eight decades. Remarkably, these colonies swiftly developed into robust and innovative democracies. The 1856 Victorian election was the first in the world where voters took a government-printed ballot paper, took it into a private voting booth to fill it out, then put it in a ballot box. And Australians have kept this democratic model ever since. A House of Commons for a Den of Thieves is the story of how the citizens of these colonies threw off the stigma of their criminal origins and asserted their rights. Not only against imperial authorities in London but also those wealthy and powerful men in the colonies themselves who distrusted the idea of mass democracy. And through their success, they created a lasting democratic tradition that their descendants have expanded and built on up until the present day.

Excerpt from An Australian Colony: The Government Handbook of Victoria The absence of knowledge by a large number of residents in Great Britain and Ireland of: the Geographical Divisions of Australia, and of the Agricultural, Pastoral, and Mineral Resources of Victoria, is made apparent by numerous inquiries. In order that information respecting the colony may be obtained by those seeking it, this brochure has been prepared. Victoria, although the smallest of the five colonies of the Continent of Australia, is one of the most prosperous. It has an area of square miles, and one of the finest climates in the world. The difference in temperature throughout the year is slight, the average being 4920 in winter, and 6530 in summer. The average rainfall in the colony for a series of years was inches. With such a genial climate, open-air work can be carried on throughout the year. Compared with European countries, Victoria occupies a very favorable position as regards the health of its people, and is entirely free from epidemical disease, from which less favoured countries suffer. The system of State Education is free, and schools are so situated as to be accessible for children in all parts of the colony. The standard of education is high, and many of our most successful men received their education in State schools. The value of imports for 1897 was and exports Of the area of square miles, only acres are under cultivation, and as most of the area is capable of cultivation, there are possibilities of extending it considerably.
