This book is published to mark the 200th anniversary of the settlement of Norfolk Island. Here, moreover, is an unprecedented Norfolk Island work, unique in its authoritative comment on the island's history and bringing insights through the wide range of scholarship of several writers. The medium also for a number of hitherto unpublished illustrations, diagrams and tables, this book will prove an ongoing and invaluable reference book not only for the historian but also for the general reader.
