FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This 1837 book was ghost-written by the young Edward Edwards (1812–86), later a key figure in the development of British public libraries. It contains two petitions requesting closer British government involvement in the transition of New South Wales from a convict colony to a well run society of respectable emigrants. It includes the names and, unusually for that period, the domiciles of all the petitioners, together with supporting arguments and detailed statistical documentation about the population, economy, laws and governance of the colony.

He aimed to secure the best interests of the Colony, strengthen the ties to the Parent State and render it in every way worthy of its British origin, by elevating the moral character of its society.
