Australian history is confronted with peculiar difficulties. The clamour of the strife which accompanied the birth of free institutions has scarcely died away and the greater part of the literature dealing with past events is so tainted by the heated feelings of partizans that it is necessary to use it with the greatest caution. Then, again, sufficient time has not elapsed to allow the incidents of former years to disclose their full significance, and matters which are really still producing grave changes in social and political life are apt to appear of little consequence, while others of a less far-reaching character assume an unmerited importance. In the following pages the desire has been to adhere as closely as possible to the story of the seven colonies without entering into questions which are still the subject of contention ;but there are many things in connection with the marvellous progress of these young communities which it has been impossible to mention here.
