YOUNG, Rev. Robert
The Southern World...
Hamilton, Adams, London, 1854. Octavo, internally a good copy in the original green cloth, slightlystained and faded, head and tail of spine worn. First edition: Young visited Australia in the course of an eighteen-month trip around the world, and includes a description of his visit to the Victorian diggings, including a digger's wedding, Christmas-day on the gold-fields, and the state of the digging population.
He also advises those who are determined to emigrate that 'if they are delicate, and have been tenderly brought up, they ought not to emigrate to the "diggings", unless they are prepared to dig their own graves. Mechanics, agriculturists, labourers, and miners, are the classes best adapted to the present state of Australia; and if such parties be healthy, sober, industrious, of good principles, possessed of common sense, and willing to endure hardship and discomfort for a season, they may emigrate to any of the Australian colonies, with a reasonable hope of success.'
The F. Hobill Cole copy with bookplate.
Ferguson, 18998.
