Personal Recollections of Early Melbourne and Victoria is a historical memoir written by William Westgarth in 1888. The book provides a unique perspective on the early days of Melbourne and Victoria, as Westgarth was a prominent figure in the development of the city and colony. Westgarth arrived in Melbourne in 1840 and quickly became involved in the business and political spheres. He was a member of the Legislative Council and played a key role in the establishment of the Melbourne Chamber of Commerce. In his memoir, Westgarth recounts his experiences of life in early Melbourne, including the growth of the city, the gold rush, and the development of the colony. He provides insights into the social, economic, and political landscape of the time, as well as his personal interactions with notable figures such as John Batman and John Pascoe Fawkner. The book also includes descriptions of the natural environment of Victoria, including the flora and fauna of the region, as well as Westgarth's travels throughout the colony. Overall, Personal Recollections of Early Melbourne and Victoria is a fascinating account of the early days of Melbourne and Victoria, written by a prominent figure who played an important role in the development of the city and colony.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
