Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Australian and Californian Gold Discoveries, and Their Probable Consequences; Or an Inquiry Into the Laws Which Determine the Value and Distribution of the Precious Metals The Discoveries of Gold which have been made in California, and, more recently, in our own Australasian Colonies, are well fitted to attract attention in a commercial country like ours; and, as might have been expected, we have had no reason to complain of any lack of publications upon so important and exciting a subject. During the last four years, all sorts of works - Lectures, Manuals, Speeches, and Pamphlets, books of Travels, Notes, Sketches, Diaries, Rambles, and Revelations, in every variety of style and form - have continued to pour in upon us) some of them light and superficial enough - but many of them of great merit and ability. The history and statistics, the chemistry and geology of the subject, have been amply descanted on; but, as far as I am aware, we have not yet had any work which professes to discuss systematically its Economical bearings and probable Social results.
