Excerpt from Tallangetta, the Squatter's Home, Vol. 1 of 2: A Story of Australian Life

IN these volumes it has been my object to depict the various phases of Australian life and character more fully than could be done in my Two Years in Victoria. Perhaps the reader will be surprised to find in the Bush and in the competitive hurry of the new colonial city some of the personages who figure here. But it requires only a brief sojourn in a colony like that of Victoria to remind you that its population is made up of the overflowings of England and many other countries, and that these overflow ings have carried with them every possible theory and practice, every idea, feeling, passion, speculation, pursuit, amusement, and imagination which are fer menting in the Old countries.
