Published in 1912 as part of the Cambridge Historical Series, this
is the third edition of The History of the Australasian Colonies.
Created with the general reader in mind, it provides a concise, yet
rigorous, analysis of historical developments in Australasia and
contextualises these developments in terms of the later political
situation at the beginning of the twentieth century. Whilst the
narrative is undoubtedly redolent of the colonial period, it
retains a high documentary value in revealing the attitudes of the
time in which it was written. The text of the this edition was
considerably revised from the 1895 original, and events are
detailed up to the year 1911, thus encompassing the movement
towards federation in Australia. This is a fascinating book that
will be of value to anyone with an interest in the colonial period,
Australasian history, and historiography.
