Remarks On A Passage To Botany Bay by James Scott provides a vivid and critical account of the convict transportation system to Australia, focusing on the journey to Botany Bay, which was a penal colony established by the British in 1788. Scott, a surgeon aboard one of the transport ships, offers a firsthand perspective on the conditions, experiences, and struggles faced by the convicts, soldiers, and crew during the long journey from England to the Australian shores. Scott provides valuable insight into the suffering and resilience of the convicts, the difficulties of life aboard a transport ship, and the challenges of establishing a penal colony in the harsh Australian landscape. The book is in fair condition, with the cover, pages and spine all intact. It is an ex-library copy and there are some tears on the dustjacket.
