Item description from seller

Hardback thick small octavo, no jacket as issued, very good condition, brown leatherette cover (embossed gilt lettering front cover & spine), top edge little foxed, otherwise excellent. 466 pp. Title continues: "With a particular enumeration of the advantages which these colonies offer for emigration, and their superiority in many respects over those possessed by the United States of America". Facsimile of the first edition published in 1819. William Wentworth was Australia's first native-born patriot, statesman, explorer, orator and promoter. He explains the colony's benefits and defects and their resolution (which he worked on for the next 30 years). He supported Governor Macquarie's expansion and Australia's independence. The foreword in 1978 was written by his grandson, of the same name, who was also a politician. (The publisher, Doubleday, is printed on the spine only.).
