A Voyage to Botany Bay by George Barrington is an adventurous tale about the deportation of a petty criminal to Australia. Barrington writes a compelling and exciting fictional travelog about the criminal's adventures. Excerpt: “The once popular subject of this sketch was born about 1755, at a village called Maynooth, in Ireland; his father being a working silversmith, and his mother a mantua maker. Nearly ruined by law, they were unable to give their son an education suitable to the early abilities which he discovered.”
