PREFACE.
ix
nearly two thousand prisoners, without having met with any difficulty, or disturbance, worth mentioning.
It was my intention to give a detailed account of New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land; but as
that subject has been so recently and ably treated of, I have restricted myself to offering a few words of
advice to persons intending to become settlers in these colonies, to whom the hints I have given may, perhaps, prove advantageous.
