Overview

Excerpt from The Naval Pioneers of Australia The printing by the New South Wales Government of the Historical Records of New South Wales has given bookmakers access to much valuable material (dispatches chiefly) hither to unavailable; and to the volumes of these Records, to the contemporary historians of The First Fleet of Captain Phillip, to the many South Sea voyages, and other works acknow ledged in the text, these writers are indebted. Their endeavour has been to collect together the scattered material that was worth collecting re lating to what might be called the naval period of Australia. This involved some years' study and the reading of scores of books, and we men tion the fact in extenuation of such faults of commission and omission as may be discerned in the work by the careful student of Australian history.
