4.9/5 (19085 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from The First Gold Discoveries in New Zealand In point of sensational effect, Otago was the first of the old provinces to appeal effectively to tho world. It was to Otago that the first real rush came from the other side, so famous for rushes. But few people in New Zealand are aware that the first discoveries in this country were made in Auckland, and that in the very year of the great discoveries that made a new epoch for the Australian Continent. Hargreaves was thought to have awakened by his finds at Bathurst only the sleeping spirits of the world of gold imprisoned in the rocks and gravels of Ballarat and Bendigo. Who does not remember the impressive picture of Farjeon, who imagined these spirits roused from their Blumber of ages by the sound of tho advancing picket? "Click, click, click," as they came nearer and nearer; and as they heard, the spirits grew wilder and wilder, welcoming the hour of their deliverance, ready to sweep into the fields of light and motion. What those fields were, what forces of energy and power were let loose, what vast changes were effected in the fate of the great continent by the side of the Tasman Sea, what fortunes were made and lost - these things and the tremendous changes they brought in their fervid train are part of another story - the story of the transmutation of Australia. It is one of the most striking stories in the history of the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
