Description

""Extracts From The Letters Of James Backhouse"" is a book that contains a collection of letters written by James Backhouse during his religious visit to Van Dieman's Land and New South Wales in 1834. Backhouse was accompanied by George Washington Walker on this journey. The letters provide a detailed account of their travels, interactions with the locals, and observations of the social and political conditions of the colonies.

The letters are written in a clear and concise style, making it an easy read for anyone interested in the history of Australia and Quakerism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
