1875.
John L. Sherriff
, Sydney, Australia
This is one of a few 1875 Australian almanacs that were all comprehensive commercial and statistical guides detailing colonial life. It contains data on NSW and other colonies, such as railway information, police courts, lists of importers, government officials, shipping and even astronomical tables for the year. Beautiful in a contemporary rebind and is a treasure for serious colonial historians.
