Excerpt from Queensland Past and Present: An Epitome of Its Resources and DevelopmentThe want of a Year Book emanating from official sources for some time past been making itself felt both from abroad and within the colony.It has been found that the voluminous information published in the Statistical Register, valuable as it undoubtedly is, fails to satisfy the growing need, and the necessity for the issue of particulars in an epitomised form has become apparent.Under instructions from the Honourable the Home Secretary, an endeavour has been made to prepare a handbook that it is hoped will serve to illustrate in a concise manner the varied resources of the colony.Consequent on the pressure of the routine duties of the office, this work has been compiled mainly in private hours, and it therefore cannot but be feared that it leaves much to be desired, both with regard to information and arrangement, and possibly - notwithstanding that the greatest care has been exercised - in some instances as to accuracy - faults common to initial works of this description, but which admit of correction in subsequent issues.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
