The Wealth and Progress of New South Wales. Nos. 1-13.

This is a rare or used book from the Berkelouw Rare Books Department.

Sydney 1886/87 - 1900/01. Bound as issued in the orig. cloth and board bindings (some of which are a little worn and/or damp-stained but mostly on the covers). With folding maps and charts. Except for Issue No. 9 (1895) which is not included in this offering the above is otherwise an entirely complete set of the first statistical information on the colony. So highly regarded was the Coghlan system of recording statistics that all the emerging states adopted his principles. The complete series consequently holds a most important role in the statistical history of Australia being the fore-runner to the Commonwealth Year Book which appeared on the culmination of No. 13 for 1901. Rare.
