''Reminiscences Of Thirty Years������� Residence In New South Wales And Victoria'' is a memoir written by Roger Therry in 1863. Therry was an Irish-born lawyer who migrated to Australia in 1829 and played a significant role in the legal and political history of New South Wales and Victoria. The book is a personal account of Therry’s experiences during his thirty years of residence in Australia. Therry’s memoir is divided into two parts. The first part discusses his time in New South Wales, where he served as a judge and a member of the Legislative Council. He writes about the early days of the colony, the challenges faced by the settlers, and the development of the legal system. Therry also provides insights into the social and political climate of the time, including the conflicts between the free settlers and the convicts.The second part of the book focuses on Therry’s experiences in Victoria, where he served as a judge in the Supreme Court. He writes about the gold rush and its impact on the colony, the development of Melbourne as a major city, and the growth of the legal profession. Therry also discusses the political developments in Victoria, including the separation from New South Wales and the establishment of responsible government.Overall, ''Reminiscences Of Thirty Years������� Residence In New South Wales And Victoria'' provides a valuable historical account of colonial Australia from the perspective of a prominent legal and political figure. Therry’s memoir is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Australian history or colonial life in the 19th century.With A Supplementary Chapter On Transportation And The Ticket Of Leave System.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
