Book Description
Excerpt from My Home in Tasmania, or Nine Years in Australia That the author-ass of the following Narrative has succeeded in producing a work of great literary merit, is well authenticated by the unmixed mood of approval vouchsafed by the whole body of British critics, from the lengthy review in the mighty Quarterly, to the passing notice or brief compliment of the provincial paper. This fact in itself would be sufficient to warrant its republication here; but when we take into account the very general and absfirbing interest which has been lately awakened in regard to the country of which we have in this volume such graphic pictures, we think we are conferring a benefit in thus presenting it to the American reader.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1853 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IV. Journey to Swan Port Restdown.--Richmond.--" The Grand Stand." --Colonial Roads.--Pic-nie Dinner.--A "Sticker-up."--Jerusalem.-- Nt.tive Names.--Halt in the Forest.--Free Roads.--Road-Gangs.-- Transit over Gullies.--Eastern Marshes.--An Invasion.--Lonely Houses.--Organ of Locality. Our final destination was Great Swan Port, at the head of Oyster Bay, on the east coast. We commenced our journey thither by a short stage, first crossing the Derwent in the ferryboats, ourselves in one, and our horses and vehicle in another. Colonial country roads are not calculated for four-wheeled carriages; Mr. Meredith therefore purchased in Hobarton a broad, stout, colonial-built conveyance, an ingenious variety of the gig species, with a seat behind for a servant, which seemed fully capable of enduring all the trying exertions of the journey. We drove from the ferry to Risdon (properly, I believe, Restdown), a very lovely spot, and the residence of one of my husband's oldest and most valued friends (T. G. Gregson, M.L.C.). I had not seen so beautiful a view, since I left England, as that commanded by the windows of his dining-room. Mount Wellington is here, as in Hobarton, the chief object in the land'scape, whilst the broad bright Derwent, enlivened by sailing and steam-vessels, and skirted by green slopes and meadow-like flats, adds greatly to the beauty of the scene. The greater verdure of the forest trees in Van Diemen's Land, than of those in New South Wales, here struck me forcibly. We lingered so pleasantly with our kind friends, that it was not until the afternoon of the following day that we set forth to make another short stage, and this was a very pleasant one, being for the most part over a fine, newly-made Government road.

Book Description
Excerpt from My Home in Tasmania, Vol. 1 of 2: During a Residence of Nine Years The risk of typographical errors in a work which must of necessity go through the press without its author's correction or revision, is un avoidably great; but the comparative rarity of such mistakes in my former volume, published under the same adverse circumstances, encourages me to hope that the present may be as fortunate.

Book Description
Excerpt from My Home in Tasmania, Vol. 2 of 2: During a Residence of Nine Years Having in my former "Sketches" alluded to the common opossums, which are alike denizens of New South Wales and Tasmania, I need not minutely describe them again, but must beg to point out what seems to me a lamentable error in the account given of their habits in a recent and generally very interesting work, of which only a few of the earlier numbers have reached us. They are there described as "sluggish and stupid!" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Louisa Anne Meredith's account of her life in Tasmania was published in 1852. She was an experienced traveller, and this work is remarkable for being the first detailed account by a woman of life in the colony. Its shrewd observations and descriptive personal narrative make it an engaging read, as well as providing a valuable historical record. A keen botanist and artist, Meredith describes the island's natural life in great detail in beautiful and evocative passages. In Volume 2 she provides more anecdotes of her life, including descriptions of the animals she encounters and journeys made within the island. She also covers more social issues, looking at religion and custom in the colony among the settlers and the natives, and closing the book with an examination of Tasmania's industry and trades.
