"The chief object of my work is to show that the extraordinary rapidity with which the enormous area described in it - equalling all Europe in size - was colonized, was due to the discovery, in 1847, of some 'glittering particles of gold' during the prosecution of an industrial work, for, practically, the then only white settler in north California. It is intended also, by giving, on the one hand, an account of the physical conditions which obtained within this immense territory prior to and at the time of that discovery, and of the interesting and adventurous explorations through which those condition were made known, and on the other hand, an account of the wonderful changes brought about by the sudden intrsuion into it of a vigorous civilized people, to afford my readers some idear of the impulse given to western settlement, by that discoveru, an impulse which was soon afterwards strongly felt both in Australia and New Zealand.
