note: THE GOLD RUSHES by W. P. MORRELL M.A., D.PHIL. READER IN HISTORY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON AUTHOR OF ' BRITISH COLONIAL POLICY IN THE AGE OF PEEL AND RUSSELL' The rushes to the great goldfields discovered in the last century produced much writing in many languages. This is the first book to attempt a synthesis of all the gold rushes as an aspect of the expansion of the European peoples. Dr Morrell treats of the phenomenon of the rushes as a whole, not only to Ballarat and Bendigo, California, the Klondike and the Rand, but to the less known though equally interesting goldfields of the Rockies, Siberia and Brazil. He discusses the distinctive features of each rush and the features that all had in common, emphasising their importance in world economy but no less as outstanding adventures of the common man. His book is amply documented and signposted for further study in the literature of the subject. y THE PIONEER HISTO RIES Edited by V. T. HARLOW, M.A., D.Litt. Rhodes Professor of Imperial History in the University of London and J. A. WILLIAMSON, M.A., DXit. Author of '* Voyages of the Cabots,' ' Sir John Hawkins,' etc. |||j 1 he Pioneer Histories are designed to p ovide accounts of the several movements t) at have shaped the course of European expansion. Each volume deals with the v orking out of some well-defined impulse to enterprise, and is complete in itself while f arming part of a related series. It is the aim of authors and editors to pro- cuce essentially readable narratives which a?*e neither pedantic nor journalistic ; the t eatment avoids on the one hand the technicalities and apparatus of criticism, a id on the other romantic distortion, fine \ riting, and—above all—propaganda.
