"August 3rd, 1873. It is about two years and four months since I left Freemantle, a small town at the mouth of the Swan River, in which town I was born. I remember the day well, it comes fresh to me in my memory as if it were just yesterday. I have had many little misfortunes since that day, I say misfortunes, I ought to say ups-and-downs for I believe that would be a more applicable phrase as they have been of very little importance, but I have become convinced as days, months and years roll on that, however trifling those small events may appear at the time they occur, it may be interesting to call them to memory in after years." - from the first page. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall.
