Description
SECOND HAND BOOK — EX LIBRARY
Excerpt from Preface;
“Sir Edward Creasy, the English historian and essayist, and author of “The Rise and Progress of the English Constitution,” once said: “A real history must be something more than a dry compendium of dates and facts.”
I have endeavoured to frame my history on this wholesome text, by weaving in and among the essentials the human element in the story of our past. Like the pilot strand which runs throughout the whole length of the rope, it is just this element which provides the interest of every writing, of whatever form it may take.”
The book contains information on ‘Settlement and Early History’, ‘Shipping and Industrial Development’, ‘Municipal Government and Political Representation”, ‘Religious, Educational, Sporting’ and ‘Notable Events. Famous Identities.’ in Williamstown.
