Anotace knihy

The first attempt by Europeans to settle in the area that eventually became the state of Victoria, Australia, was led by Colonel David Collins in 1803. Melbourne was founded in 1835, and after the discovery of gold in 1851 became the financial centre of Australia. This authoritative two-volume history of the state's first century, published in 1904 by the banker Henry Gyles Turner (1831–1920), is based on parliamentary records and information from leading political figures with whom the author was personally acquainted. Volume 1 traces Victoria's development from its early settlement to its establishment as an independent colony and the discovery of gold. Volume 2 describes the effects of the gold rush, including the management of the goldfields, the imprisonment of unlicensed miners, and the miners' revolts against taxes, and covers political developments up to Victoria's integration into the Commonwealth of Australia.
