It is fitting that more than passing note should be takenof the great events which have been transpiring inAustralia during this history-making epoch. We havegiven in the pages of this small volume a brief historyof the Federal movement, and a somewhat elaboratedescription of the final ceremony which took place onthe first day of January of this year, when the Federationof the six colonies of New South Wales, Victoria, SouthAustralia, Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania,under the title of the Commonwealth of Australia, becamea^finally-accomplished fact. This commemorative volume will, we are assured,become a link in the great chain of records to whichgenerations in succession turn for information as towhat has gone before. We must acknowledge our indebtedness to thecolumns of the Sydney Morning Herald and the SydneyDaily Telegraph, from whose splendid accounts of thegreat ceremony we have culled information.
