"A Source Book of Australian History" by Gwendolen H. Swinburne is a historical account compiled in the early 20th century. This work aims to provide readers with primary sources and firsthand accounts that highlight significant events and figures in Australian history, focusing on exploration, colonization, and the development of the continent. The book seeks to encourage readers to engage directly with historical evidence to form their own understanding of Australia's past. The opening of this source book introduces the reader to its purpose and scope. The compiler expresses the hope that this volume will stimulate interest in Australian history through vivid details from primary sources. Swinburne emphasizes that while this collection may not cover every event, it connects readers with the evidence that underpins Australia's historical narrative. The initial sections cover critical themes such as discovery and exploration, laying the groundwork for understanding the subsequent historical context and the contributions of notable explorers and settlers.
