"Like Barrington's A Voyage to New South Wales (1795), this narrative is written loosely around the life of George Barrington, but is more an account of events and conditions in the colony and at Norfolk Island which are clearly drawn from the narratives of Collins King, and Tench" (Walsh and Hooton 17).
