Admiral Phillip: The Founding of New South Wales is a historical book written by Louis Becke and first published in 1897. The book tells the story of Admiral Arthur Phillip, who was appointed by the British government to lead the First Fleet to establish a new penal colony in Australia in 1788. The book provides a detailed account of Phillip’s life, from his early years and naval career to his selection as the governor of the new colony. It also describes the challenges he faced in preparing for the journey and the difficulties he encountered upon arrival in Australia, including conflicts with the indigenous population and the harsh conditions of the new land.Through Phillip’s story, Becke provides a vivid portrayal of the early days of European settlement in Australia and the complex political and social issues that arose during this period. The book includes numerous primary sources, such as letters, journals, and official documents, which add depth and authenticity to the narrative.Overall, Admiral Phillip: The Founding of New South Wales is a valuable historical resource that sheds light on one of the most significant events in Australian history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Australia, naval history, or colonialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
