Synopsis
Excerpt from Life in Victoria, or Victoria in 1853 and Victoria in 1858, Vol. 1 of 2: Showing the March of Improvement Made by the Colony Within Those Periods, in Town and Country, Cities and Diggings
I have endeavoured to narrate faithfully the chequered vicissitudes of my various avocations, because they tend in a great measure to illustrate the unprecedented progress of the colony in its social, political, commercial, and mining phases; and though many of the details may be devoid of that stirring interest suited to the desultory reader, I trust they are so far imbued with truthful information as to redeem them from any general verdict of condemnation. Interest, it may be said, is a condiment capable of being manufactured specially to flavour literary ragouts; but as such an article only amalgamates genially with apocryphal information, I preferred telling my story without any such seasoning, rather than have the authenticity of the scattered crumbs of intelli gence it contains called in question.
