Zigzag journeys in Australia, or, a visit to the ocean world / by Hezekiah Butterworth. (Boston : Estes and Lauriat, c1891)
The Zigzag series was produced in America and included accounts of many lands. In his introduction Hezekiah Butterworth explains the aim of the series is, "to give a view of the political and moral progress of different countries, in order that young people may intelligently discuss the topics of the times." The particular topics emphasised in this volume are "the Australian ballot system", "the Wakefield Theory" of immigration and profit-sharing; and the reform of transported convicts.
