Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored." Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books. There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon. Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ... the black police of queensland chapter I early days in queensland Early Days in Queensland--Colonial Experience--Somerset Land Sale--"Tickets for Soup"--Visit to a Cattle Station--My Friend the Parson--Tame Blacks--A Sable Orator--A Glance at the Duties of the Queensland Native Police--The Gentleman " Cabby " Queensland has nobly come forward, together with her sister Colonies, to fight for the old country during the present war; and as I lived there for some years during the period of her earlier history--she separated from New South Wales in 1859, whilst I landed in Moreton Bay in 1864--I feel that I may offer at the present date a few notes concerning the history of the Colony during those early days and further place on record certain incidents and experiences which befell me, more especially during the time which I served in the more northern parts of the Colony in the Native Mounted Police, or " Black Police," for by this name the force was often known. In these reminiscences I by no means rely entirely upon memory, for I still retain my old Queensland diaries, together with some official papers connected with the force in which I served. I will describe this force, together with the life I led in it, more fully in subsequent chapters, and though I have some of my old Slater's diaries to fall back upon, yet I can remember without external aid many scenes, incidents, and names of men connected with those days better than I can sometimes call to mind events of last week and people's names of later periods. I take it that the simple reason is that a " new chum," having landed in a new country and not long out of his teens has every incident vividly and lastingly impressed on his memory.

Far as the breeze can bear The billows foam, survey our Empire I VENTURE to think that the following account of some of my early Colonial experiences may interest the British Public, and also my old friends of those days. The first, because everything connected with our Colonies has excited unusual interest since the opening of the South African War, and Queensland, Great Britain and I relands youngest and perhaps most progressive possession, has, together with her sister Colonies, come nobly and grandly to the front at the Call to A rms. The second, because these reminiscences, slightly to paraphrase an old song, will remind Old bushmates of days that are past, of Sunny days our later Queensland (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
