Original 1896 Publication With Large Foldout Chart Present
"This original 1896 government publication, compiled by T.A. Coghlan, Government Statistician, presents an exhaustive statistical register for New South Wales covering 1894 and preceding years. The volume consolidates official returns across multiple sectors, providing a comprehensive overview of population, education, crime, trade, public finance, mining, agriculture, and internal communication. Designed for reference and policy purposes, it reflects the meticulous governmental record-keeping of the late 19th century and offers a snapshot of colonial society at a pivotal moment in New South Wales history.
Bound in its original publisher's card covers with a cloth spine, this edition remains remarkably intact given its age, though the spine shows wear and minor losses typical of a century-old reference work. A large foldout chart is present, detailing the statistical progression of the colony from the separation of Queensland to 1894, adding substantial value for researchers and collectors. Internal pages are clean and legible, with some foxing consistent with age, preserving the historical authenticity of this governmental record.
A scarce survival, this volume is an essential reference for historians, genealogists, and collectors of Australian colonial documents, offering primary data rarely found elsewhere. Its combination of completeness, original binding, and foldout charts makes it a prized addition to any collection focused on New South Wales, Australian history, or historical statistical publications. Ideal for libraries, researchers, and collectors of late 19th-century governmental ephemera."
