A collection of petitions, memorials and letters from the convict colony of Van Diemen's Land, gathered and transcribed by Eustace FitzSymonds from original documents held in colonial archives, with numerous pages reproduced in facsimile directly from the manuscripts. The documents are the voices of the convict system itself — petitions for mercy, memorials requesting tickets of leave, letters of complaint and protest, correspondence between convicts and colonial administrators.
