Présentation de l'éditeur: Public another Volume upon Western A ustralia. By the number of the books I have made, I am inchned to believe that Job would have found in me an enemy after his own heart. So often liave I given my enemies the opportunity for which the Prophet longed, that my hesitation in the present instance arises not from fear of arousing dormant hostilities, but solely out of consideration for my friends. Hitherto, both the Public and the Press have received each of my efforts with a cordiality that 1should be loth to forfeit, and the conviction that the praise bestowed has been beyond the measure of my deserts, has warned me of the possibility of wearing out my welcome. My e.xcuse for once again putting the patience of my readers to the test, must be the fact that, in writing this account of Mv FoiiRTH TOUk IN WEST bRN AUSTRALIA, 1have treated the subject entirely from a personal standpoint. I have set down only such things as 1saw and heard during my visit, and in so doing 1have, to a large e.tent, sacrificed my opportunities of imparting information in order to confine myself to a narrative of personal experiences. In previous books, my object has been to advance the niterests of the Colony, and draw attention to her wonderful, but then little known, resources. During mtliree preceding visits, much of my time was employed in collecting information for this purpose, and the books that resulted from my researches, were of a kind that are to be found in the Reference Department of Public Libraries.
