The Household Narrative Of Current Events For The Year 1852 - Being A Monthly Supplement To Household Words
Conducted by Charles Dickens
Published by Charles Dickens Office 16 Wellington Street North: London 1852
This edition contains some interesting news reports on the discovery of gold in the Australian Colonies.

"The Household Narrative of Current Events for the Year 1852 (Published by Charles Dickens, Office, 16 Wellington Street North, London, 1852) is a fascinating bound collection of monthly supplements to Household Words, Dickens's influential periodical of reform and reportage. Edited under his supervision, it provides an accessible and morally conscious account of major political, social, and cultural developments throughout the year. Its pages cover a broad range of topics—from British parliamentary affairs and European conflicts to advances in science, trade, and literature—written in the clear, humane tone that defined Dickens's approach to journalism.

Of particular note in this 1852 edition are the early news reports on the discovery of gold in the Australian colonies, capturing the global excitement surrounding the Victorian and New South Wales gold rushes. These firsthand accounts, written for a British readership, reveal contemporary attitudes toward emigration, opportunity, and colonial enterprise, making the volume an important historical artifact of the period. The Household Narrative of Current Events would appeal to collectors of Dickensiana, historians of Australian colonial history, and readers interested in 19th-century journalism and its vivid reflection of the gold rush era."
