""Land, Labor, And Gold V1: Or Two Years In Victoria, With Visits To Sydney And Van Diemen�������s Land"" is a travelogue and historical account written by William Howitt in 1855. The book describes Howitt's experiences during his two-year stay in Victoria, Australia, where he witnessed the gold rush and its impact on the region. Howitt also visited Sydney and Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania) during his travels. The book provides a detailed account of the social and economic conditions of the time, including the treatment of indigenous people and the struggles of the working class. Howitt's observations are based on his personal experiences and interactions with the people he met during his travels. The book is an important historical document that offers insights into the early days of Australia's colonial history and the impact of the gold rush on the country.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
