After Many Days
Being The Reminiscences Of Cuthbert Fetherstonhaugh
Published by E.W. Cole Book Arcade: Melbourne c1917 1st Edition
Scarce Australian History book.

" After Many Days is a vivid and highly personal memoir by Cuthbert Fetherstonhaugh, recounting more than seventy years of lived experience spanning Ireland, Germany, and colonial Australia. Born in Ireland on the day Queen Victoria ascended the throne in 1837, Fetherstonhaugh traces his early life and eventual migration to Australia, where he became a keen observer and participant in the formative decades of colonial society. Written in an engaging, conversational tone, the book offers firsthand recollections rather than retrospective mythmaking, grounding its narrative firmly in lived reality.

Much of the book's strength lies in its richly detailed depictions of mid- to late-19th-century Australian life, particularly in New South Wales and Victoria. Fetherstonhaugh writes of bush travel, horsemanship, rural communities, frontier social life, and the rhythms of colonial existence with an immediacy that only a contemporary witness could provide. Illustrated throughout with period images—including early views of Melbourne, ships, town scenes, and rural pursuits—the narrative captures both the hardship and adventure of life in Australia during and after the gold rush era, preserving social details often absent from official histories.

Published by E.W. Cole's Book Arcade, Melbourne, circa 1917, this is the first edition of a scarce Australian historical memoir, issued by one of Australia's most important early publishers. Its combination of autobiographical narrative, colonial history, and illustrative material makes it a valuable primary source for understanding everyday life in 19th-century Australia. The book would particularly appeal to collectors of Australian history, researchers of colonial and goldfields-era life, genealogists, and readers with an interest in early Australian memoirs and firsthand historical accounts.
