Subtitled "Being a Social and Economic Sketch History"

"While the story runs in strict historical sequence, it is embroidered with a wealth of bright and racy comment touching on every imaginable relevant subject -- dress, language (good and bad), dancing, duelling, drinking, politics, blackfellows and bushrangers." as stated on dust jacket flap.

As you can see, the dust jacket is not held together at spine. The spine is missing from DJ. It is also with very rough edges.The book itself is very nice. Dark marroon or red covers showing only slightly bumped corners. The interior is spotless, excepting a tiny sticker on bottom of front end paper showing more than likely the store that first sold the book. "Swain's 123 Pitt St. Sydney - Stationary, Books, Artworks, Fancy Goods".
