Excerpt from New Homes: The Rise, Progress, Present Position, and Future Prospects of Each of the Australian Colonies and New Zealand, Regarded as Homes for All Classes of Emigrants
Having thus given a reason why I think such a book as I am writing Should be presented to the public; having stated that I write from no mere hearsay, but as having for so long a time dwelt amid the scenes I describe; and having also re moved what might have raised a prejudice against myself as a chronicler of Australian history, I will without further preface address myself to the task before me. And if, within the compass of a small volume, I can take you out to the colonies, travel with you from one to the other of them, tracing by the way their rise, progress, present condition, and future prospects, and then bring you safely home on a voyage by steam, round that region of storms, Cape Horn, I think you will agree with me that I have beaten the electric telegraph hollow. But who shall go on the voyage? For whom are.
