- Summary:
-
Before a return visit to England in 1846 Lang made an extensive tour in Moreton Bay to gain information about Australia as a field for British Protestant migration. The prospectus discusses the suitability of soil and climate for the purpose of cotton-growing, and reports on the quality of a sample grown near Mount Flinders on the Brisbane River by Mr. W. Wilson. The sample was sent to Britain and analysed in Manchester by T. Bazley, who encouraged Lang to promote emigration for cotton cultivation. Lang’s observation is that in the particular locality in which the specimen was grown there are about 50,000 acres of the finest land all adapted for this species of cultivation. —Australian Book Auctions catalogue 94, 24 June 2019.
