BRETON, William Henry: 'Excursions in New South Wales, Western Australia, and Van Diemen's Land, during the years 1830, 1831, 1832, and 1833.' The revised second edition, with additions. [Richard Bentley, London, 1834]; 420pp, with two lithographic plates., Breton emigrated to Tasmania after leaving the Royal Navy in 1827, eventually becoming police magistrate at Launceston. He visited the other colonies, including the recently established settlement at Swan River, as well as New Zealand. He gives an excellent description of Tasmania at perhaps its most difficult time, the 'unfeeling conduct of the whites' and when it was suffering from the depredations of bushrangers.
