He discusses the colony's rapid growth and development, including the discovery of gold and the subsequent influx of migrants. Therry also provides a detailed account of the legal system in Victoria, which he helped establish.Throughout the book, Therry offers his opinions on a range of topics, including the treatment of Indigenous Australians, the role of religion in society, and the importance of education. He also includes anecdotes and personal reflections that provide a glimpse into the daily life of a colonial resident.Overall, Reminiscences Of Thirty Years������� Residence In New South Wales And Victoria is a valuable historical document that provides a firsthand account of the early days of two of Australia's most important colonies.With A Supplementary Chapter On Transportation And The Ticket Of Leave System.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
