"This 1897 publication, New South Wales Statistical Register for 1896 and Previous Years, compiled by T.A. Coghlan, serves as a comprehensive official record of the colony's public data. Bound in its original cloth with gilt lettering and embossed emblem, the book presents a detailed snapshot of New South Wales across multiple domains, including local government, shipping, commerce, land settlement, agriculture, manufacturing, population, and vital statistics. The inclusion of a large folding chart illustrating statistical progress from 1860 to 1896 further highlights the volume's use as a reference tool for policy, planning, and historical research.
The content is structured in a highly organized manner, with a clear index of parts, each covering specific sectors of the colony's development. Sections detail infrastructure, legal administration, financial institutions, public finance, education, science, and charitable activity, reflecting the breadth of governmental oversight at the turn of the century. The meticulous compilation from official returns indicates a high level of reliability, making it an invaluable resource for researchers studying economic, demographic, and social trends in late 19th-century New South Wales.
Collectors will find this a particularly desirable item due to its original 1897 printing, historical significance, and the presence of the large foldout chart, which is complete and intact. Its value is enhanced by its well-preserved condition and the embossed government emblem on the cover. This volume will appeal to historians, statisticians, and collectors of Australian colonial publications, especially those with an interest in governmental and economic history of New South Wales."
