Present Picture of New South Wales
The Present Picture of New South Wales, published in 1811 by David Dickinson Mann, offers a comprehensive overview of the Australian colony. Written after Mann's transportation for forgery in 1799 and subsequent pardon, the book includes a brief history and an A-Z encyclopedia detailing the political and economic progress of New South Wales. Mann's insights on the colony's future development reflect his unique perspective as both a convict and a government official during a tumultuous period in the colony's history.
