Summary "The Present Picture of New South Wales" by D. D. Mann is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book provides a detailed observation of the early days of New South Wales, including its development as a colony, the challenges faced, and the activities of its inhabitants. It examines the socio-political landscape, specifically focusing on the interactions between convicts, settlers, and the indigenous population. The opening of the text sets the stage by outlining the discoveries and initial colonization efforts catalyzed by Captain Cook and Governor Phillip. It describes the arrival of convicts, the establishment of government structures, and the establishment of societal norms in a largely uncharted territory. Mann discusses the challenges such as conflicts with the native inhabitants, issues of law and order, and the environmental challenges faced by settlers. His narrative hints at the resilience and gradual improvement of the colony, reflecting on the complexities in the early settlement period, which provides insight into the historical context of New South Wales.
