Book Description

Excerpt from Western Australian Year-Book for 1900-01, Vol. 1 of 2 For various reasons it has lately been found impossible to publish this book annually. The diversity of the subjects included within its scope, and the consequent multiplicity of the sources from which the requisite information has to be drawn, added to the difficulty evidently experienced by the various Government Departments, whose assistance has necessarily to be obtained, in giving immediate attention to the collection and compilation of the matter asked of them, has rendered it, I regret to say, necessary to publish it as a retrospective survey of the two years immediately preceding that of its issue. In this twelfth edition will be found, therefore, in addition to the chapters of general reference, a report of the progress made by the State of Western Australia during the years 1900 and 1901. Comparative statistical figures being, at the same time, in almost every instance, given for the whole decade 1892-1901.
