Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - ''The Convict Ship: A Narrative Of The Results Of Scriptural Instruction And Moral Discipline On Board The Earl Grey'' is a non-fiction book written by Colin Arrott Browning. The book tells the story of the Earl Grey, a convict ship that sailed from England to Australia in 1848. The ship was carrying over 200 female convicts who were being transported to serve their sentences in the colonies. Browning's book is a detailed account of the journey and the impact that the ship's chaplain, Rev. John Gurney, had on the convicts. Gurney was a devout Christian who believed that the convicts could be reformed through a combination of religious instruction and moral discipline. He set up a school on board the ship where the women could learn to read and write, and he encouraged them to attend daily religious services.Browning's narrative is based on Gurney's own journals and letters, as well as interviews with some of the convicts who were on board the Earl Grey. The book provides a fascinating insight into life on board a convict ship in the mid-19th century, as well as the challenges faced by those who were trying to reform the convicts.Overall, ''The Convict Ship'' is a compelling and well-written account of a little-known episode in Australian history. It offers a unique perspective on the lives of female convicts and the efforts of those who sought to reform them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.…
