Synopsis

""Lectures on Gold: For the Instruction of Emigrants about to Proceed to Australia"" is a book written by Joseph Beete Jukes in 1852. The book is a comprehensive guide for people who were planning to emigrate to Australia during the gold rush era. It covers a wide range of topics related to gold mining, including the geological formation of gold, the tools and techniques used for mining, and the best locations to find gold. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific aspect of gold mining. The author uses a clear and concise writing style to explain complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand. The book is also illustrated with numerous diagrams and sketches, which help to further clarify the concepts discussed.One of the unique features of this book is that it was written specifically for emigrants who were planning to travel to Australia. The author provides practical advice on what to expect when arriving in Australia and how to prepare for the journey. He also discusses the social and economic conditions in Australia at the time, which would have been useful for emigrants who were unfamiliar with the country.Overall, ""Lectures on Gold"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of gold mining or the Australian gold rush. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the challenges and opportunities faced by emigrants during this exciting period in Australian history.Also Authored By Warington Wilkinson Smyth, John Percy And Robert Hunt.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
