About This Book

A traveler recounts an eleven-month journey to the colonies, beginning with a detailed account of a long sailing passage that contrasts sail and steam, records daily routines, shipboard hierarchies, pastimes, and the passage through the tropics and Southern Ocean; later letters describe port cities and regions—Melbourne, the surrounding colony, South Australia, Tasmania, Auckland, and Sydney—combining personal impressions, conversations with residents, practical observations on society and economy, and reflections on colonial life and travel's changing character.
