NEWINGTON, PAREAMATTA RIVER, WESLETAN COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION, June im, 1866. MY DEAR SIR, WITH the aid of your MSS. from Chapter I. to XV., I have duly rejoiced with placid Mr. Noah Cockle at the birthof his son Christopher; have taken a merry voyage in the luxurious steamer Calabash; have smiled at Tim Rafferty,. steward, philosopher, and wit; and have pitied the verdant Christopher in his painful and costly induction into common sense and colonial experience. If anything short of actual suffering can wake up suck human shell-fish, it will be a book like yours, with humour enough to make them read it, and enough of the salt of wisdomlurking in it everywhere to improve their mental health before they have done with it. So much good service has never before been done with a BOOMERANG. I most heartily desire that it may strike your aim, as smartly and beneficially as you intend, and fly back to your feet with enough golden dust about it to afford you some substantial remuneration for your labour. I am, my dear Sir, Yours truly, (S igned) JOSEPH H. FLETCHER. To J. R. Houlding, Esq., Sea View Terrace.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book follows the story of Christopher Cockle, a young man from London who travels to Australia in hopes of capitalizing on the gold rush. Before leaving, he seeks advice from Lucky Sam, a man who has recently returned from the diggings with tall tales of vast fortunes made overnight. Raised in a sheltered environment, Christopher is initially shocked by his experiences in a place so vastly different from home. He soon adapts to the harsh new world and becomes hardened by the realities of life on the goldfields. However, Christopher ultimately discovers that the pursuit of wealth is not as fulfilling as he had believed. He eventually returns home a changed man, wiser to the ways of the world, and with a new appreciation for the simple things in life.
