A History of the Colony of Victoria V1: From Its Discovery to Its Absorption into the Commonwealth of Australia, 1797-1854 is a comprehensive book written by Henry Gyles Turner. It provides a detailed account of the history of Victoria, one of the six states in Australia, from the time of its discovery to its integration into the larger Australian federation. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume covering the period from 1797 to 1854.The book starts by providing an overview of the early explorers who visited the region, including the Dutch navigator Abel Tasman, who first sighted the coast of Victoria in 1642. It then goes on to describe the first settlement in the region, which was established by the British in 1803 at Sullivan Bay. The book covers the early years of the colony, including the struggles of the settlers to establish themselves in a harsh and unfamiliar environment.As the colony grew, the book describes the emergence of a distinct Victorian identity, with its own culture, politics, and economy. It covers the period of the gold rush, which transformed Victoria from a struggling colony into one of the wealthiest regions in the world. The book also covers the political developments in the colony, including the establishment of responsible government and the emergence of the Victorian parliament.The book concludes with the integration of Victoria into the larger Australian federation in 1901. It provides a detailed account of the negotiations and debates that led to the formation of the Commonwealth of Australia, as well as the impact that this had on the people of Victoria.Overall, A History of the Colony of Victoria V1: From Its Discovery to Its Absorption into the Commonwealth of Australia, 1797-1854 is a comprehensive and detailed account of the early history of Victoria. It provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Australia, and in particular, the development of one of its most important states.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
