This work provides a history of the early political, social, and economic development of Australia and New Zealand. Since both British colonies became independent countries in the 1900s, this work does not relate those events. NOTE: As this work was written by Victorian-era Australian authors, the attitudes conveyed regarding indigenous peoples are of that period and may offend some listeners today. (Summary by TriciaG)
This work was cataloged as "from 1696" rather than 1606. The audio files all contain the error.
