William Pember Reeves' scholarly work of 1902 provides a full and
candid account of radical and experimental laws in Australia and
New Zealand. From the Anti-Chinese Acts of 1881 to the adoption of
the women's franchise by the Commonwealth Parliament in Australia
in 1902, the two volumes survey all noteworthy laws and statutes,
addressing colonial questions of the time. Well-known for his
history of New Zealand, The Long White Cloud (1898), the statesman
Reeves (1857 1932) draws attention to admitted defects or failures
in the laws without imposing his personal political views on the
reader. Volume 1 sets out the historical background of Australasia,
and covers such areas as the Progressive Movement, the women's
franchise and issues concerning land laws. Overall, the two volumes
represent an important record of the many reforms and changes
occurring in the political and social systems of the continent at
this time.
