Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Scratches to covers. Interior and binding are still excellent.
An account of George Robinson's (1791-1866) life up until his arrival in Van Diemen's Land in 1824, primarily from his diary kept while sailing as a steerage passenger in 1824.
Provides an interesting personal record and the only detailed picture of conditions on an immigrant vessel of that period, during the long voyage to the Australian colonies.
George Robison was a free settler who became well known as the conciliator of the Tasmanian Aborigines.
Also includes logarithms of the convict and immigrant population.
