Letters From Australia (1869)

By John Martineau

Book Overview

Letters From Australia is a book written by John Martineau in 1869. The book is a collection of letters written by Martineau during his travels in Australia. The letters were originally published in The Times newspaper in London and were later compiled into this book. In the book, Martineau provides a detailed and vivid description of his experiences in Australia, including his interactions with the local people, his observations of the landscape and wildlife, and his insights into the social and political climate of the country. Martineau's writing style is engaging and informative, and he provides a unique perspective on life in Australia during the mid-19th century. His letters cover a wide range of topics, from the gold rush to the Aboriginal population, and provide a fascinating glimpse into a time and place that is now long gone. Overall, Letters From Australia is a compelling read for anyone interested in Australian history, travel writing, or 19th-century literature. Martineau's observations and insights offer a valuable perspective on a country that was still relatively unknown to the rest of the world at the time of his travels.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
