Best-known for the scandalous circumstances surrounding his suicide
in 1893, Francis Adams (1862 1893) enjoyed a reputation as a
proficient, if unpredictable, writer producing a large volume of
work in his relatively short life. Adams moved to Australia in the
early 1880s, remaining there for several years. Finding the news of
Australia in England 'inept', Adams wrote from a desire to educate
the English public properly on the Australian people. His work,
published in 1893, is divided into two parts. The first describes
the geography, culture and society of the 'Pacific slope', the
ribbon of settlements along the east coast of Australia. The second
half, focused on the eastern interior, deals with the more
controversial issues of land ownership and the Aboriginal
population in the rural areas in the country. Much of the book
draws on Adams' series of articles on Australian life, previously
published in the Fortnightly Review.
