Excerpt from The Emigrant's Guide, or Ten Years Practical Experience in Australia It is the custom of authors to assign, in what is called a Preface, the reasons which induced them to appear before the Public. The only reason which I think it necessary to assign for the following publication, is my belief that a residence of ten years in New South Wales has enabled me to gather such information as may be of some use to intending emigrants. It is true that there has already issued from the press a host of books on this colony; but some of these books contain but very little information that would be of practical use to the emigrant on his arrival here, while others of them, half filled with politics and private squabbles, were evidently written by men who either had some selfish ends to serve, or who never had any long or real experience of a "bush life."
