Excerpt from Australian Dictionary of Dates and Men of the Time: Containing the History of Australasia From 1542 to May, 1879
It has been sought to embody in a lasting form a digested summary of every branch of Australian history, brought down to the eve of publication; and it is confidently hoped that the following pages will be found to contain something far more valuable than a mere Dictionary of Dates, preserving, as they do, innumerable facts of interest and importance, never published in any previous work of reference upon the Australian Colonies.
