hardcover. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 3rd Edition. This is "Australia: The making of a Nation" by John Foster Fraser, published for the Bay View Reading Club in Detroit, Michigan by Cassell and Company This was the Third Edition, issued in 1911. John Foster Fraser was an English travel author who gained public celebrity for doing a bicycle trip around the world with two friends, Samuel Edward Lunn and Francis Herbert Lowe. On Rover safety bicycles they rode over 19,000 miles in two years. They crossed through 17 countries and three continents. The journey was immortalized in Fraser's book, "Round the World on a Wheel" (1899). Australia was one of the countries he visited, although at a later time than his chronicled world tour; and so this book is a further enlargement of his travels - devoted entirely to "Down Under" - including Tasmania. Fraser addressed the Foreword of his book "To the People of Australia" ; — This is a book about you - the impressions, the investigations, and the conclusions of a world-wanderer who spent a few months in your midst. For years many of you wrote to me:"You write books about America, Canada, Russia, Siberia and other lands; why don't you come here and tell the world about us? Tell the truth and we'll give you a good time when you are here." It was long before the opportunity came. When it did, you kept your promise. You gave me a good time. I have told the people of Britain about your hospitality. It never faltered from the moment the first bunch of greeting telegrams was pushed into my hand on reaching your shores, till, in the drop of the day, I watched the flutter of handkerchiefs as my boat steamed homewards. CHAPTERS: 1. Some General Impressions 2. The Imperial and National Spirit 3. The Problem of Immigration 4. Stray Notes 5. Roundabout Notes 6. Some Problems of Population 7. Sheep, Wool and Mutton 8. Settlement of the Land 9. The Middle State 10. The Problem of the Railways 11. Home Life of the People 12. A maligned State 13. The Desert City 14. Constitution and Government 15. The Mother State 16. The Working Man 17. Systems of Education - The State as Parent 18. Experiments in Labour Legislation 19. A White Australia (This is an unfortunate chapter, revealing as it does, the sad prejudice of the time) 20. The Garden State 21. Queensland 22. Australia and Canada 23. Tasmania 24.
