Mendacium sibif sicut turbinist viam augustam in urbe et orbe terrarum aperuit, Stultus dicit in corde suo, non est Deus, Veritas vero lente passu passu sicut puer tandem aliquando janunculat ad luctim. Tunc Justus ut palma florescit, I UNDERTAKE to do what an honest man should do, let it thunder or rain. He who huys this hook to lull himself to sleep hd hetter spend his money in grog. He who reads this hook to smoke a pipe over it, let him provide himself with plenty oft hacco he will have to hlow hard. A lover of truth thats the man I want and he will have in this book the truth, and nothing hut the truth. Facts, from the stubborn-things store, are here retailed and related contradiction is challenged from friend or foe. The observation on, and induction from the facts, are here stamped with sincerity: I ask for no other credit. I may be mistaken :I will not acknowledge the mistake unless the contrary be proved. Listen to me The lie, like the whirlwind, clean itself royal road, either in town or country, through the whole face of the earth. The fool in his heart says, There is no God. The truth, however slow, step by step, like little ohild, Qoieday, it i Mt, finds a footpath to light Then the righteous flourish like a pajm tree.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book plunges readers into the heart of the Eureka Stockade, a pivotal moment in Australian history. The author, an eyewitness to the events, offers a firsthand account of the tensions between the gold diggers and the colonial authorities in the 1850s, highlighting the grievances that led to the rebellion. The narrative vividly depicts the harsh realities of life on the goldfields, including the brutal licence hunts, the rampant sly grog trade, and the social and economic inequalities that festered beneath the surface of colonial life. The author's perspective is that of a European immigrant navigating the challenges of the gold rush, a perspective that adds a fascinating layer to the story of the Eureka Stockade. His insights are sharp and often laced with humor, drawing a poignant contrast between the ideals of British justice and the realities of colonial rule. He explores themes of social injustice, class conflict, and the struggle for individual rights amidst a rapidly changing landscape. This book offers a compelling look into the underbelly of colonial Australia, revealing the simmering unrest that ultimately erupted into the Eureka Stockade, an event that had a profound impact on the development of Australian democracy.
