36 pages. This article surveys the worldwide impact of gold discoveries in the mid-19th century, drawing on parliamentary reports, geological lectures, and first-hand travel accounts from California and Australia. It reflects on the social and economic upheaval triggered by sudden access to precious metals, including migration, speculation, and the reconfiguration of monetary systems. With vivid portraits of diggers, financiers, and colonial administrators, the piece captures the feverish optimism and underlying instability that accompanied the gold rush era. An authentic standalone article, extracted from a larger volume. Not a reprint or reproduction, but an original work in its own right. Preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 18 x 26 cms. Category: Quarterly Review; Antiquarian & Rare;.
