Excerpt from Reminiscences of an Australian Pioneer IN writing these reminiscences I have been persuaded by my friends to give my life and anecdotes exactly as they stand in my memory, but in doing so I find some difficulty in blowing my own horn without making myself out to be more than I am. However, as no one else can give my life, I must ask my readers to remember, in the lines of Will Carleton, that For people's lives, full well we know, Two sets of things recall, The one of which we always tell.

First published in 1969. The original History of Australian Land Settlement, 1788-1920 was published in Melbourne in 1924, when the writer was a young lecturer in British History in the University of Melbourne. As the years and decades went by, more and more work was done to fill in research gaps and there were of necessity many re interpretations. This particularly applied to the initial squatting period and to the then-unknown stage between the gold discoveries and federation. This is a copy of the original version.
