Excerpt from My Home in Tasmania, Vol. 1 of 2: During a Residence of Nine Years The risk of typographical errors in a work which must of necessity go through the press without its author's correction or revision, is un avoidably great; but the comparative rarity of such mistakes in my former volume, published under the same adverse circumstances, encourages me to hope that the present may be as fortunate.

Excerpt from A History of Tasmania: From Its Discovery in 1642 to the Present Time Mr. A. Johnston, of the Launceston Mechanics' Institute, merits special thanks for the obligations he has conferred in giving access to books of reference. And last, but not least, the writer has to acknowledge the valuable assistance he has received from Mr. James Backhouse Walker, of Hobart, who has laboured most assiduously at the task of revising the manuscript for the press, and has contributed the list of books relating to Tasmania, and the notes on Bruny and Risdon, which appear in the Appendix.

Book Description
Excerpt from Daily Life and Origin of the Tasmanians The prejudices of party strife could not fail to colour stories of the Black War of Van Diamen'a Land. The long continuance of that war, the dispersion of the unhappy dark-skins, the sufferings of women and the destruction of children, all tended to the break up of the Tribes, the blending of old dialects, the confusion of ideas from intercourse with Whites. As the Last of the Tasmanians has been long out of print, a few remarks as to the history of the departed may not be here out of place.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Geography of Tasmania The want of a Geography of Tasmania has long been felt by teachers. Examiners in the public examinations, who have set questions on the geography of the island, have remarked on the ignorance of the candidates of local facts. Nor is this surprising, as with no text work available, teachers have had to trust to their own know ledge, and all have not that knowledge. It is hoped that this little book will supply the want. Consider able space has been given to the industries of the island for it is now generally admitted that this, rather than dry names of places or divisions of the country, is the important and valuable part of geography. A short history of the island has been added, as at the time this book was undertaken no such history was in existence. The chapter on the Aborigines should be found interest ing to the pupils.
