Excerpt from Narrative of the Circumnavigation of the Globe by the Austrian Frigate Novara, Commodore B. Von Undertaken by Order of the Imperial Government, in the Years 1859, Under the Immediate Auspices of His I, and R. Highness the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, Vol. 3 Australia, or New Holland, * as it was originally termed by its first discoverers, proud of their nationality, furnishes of all the British colonies the most conspicuous and instructive example of this policy.
