"Early History of the Colony of Victoria" is a two-volume historical work covering the first attempt by Europeans to settle in the area that eventually became the state of Victoria, led by Colonel David Collins in 1803, the foundation of Melbourne in 1835, and its economic growth after the discovery of gold in 1851. The second volume describes the effects of the gold rush, including the management of the goldfields, the imprisonment of unlicensed miners, and the miners' revolts against taxes, and covers political developments up to Victoria's integration into the Commonwealth of Australia.
