A history of the battle to end convict transportation from Britain to Van Diemen's Land / Tasmania.
The standard reference on Tasmanian postal history and postal markings, Part I — written by H.M. Campbell, J.R.W. Purves and L.C. Viney and published by the Royal Philatelic Society of Victoria in 1962. Part I covers the early postal history of Tasmania from the Van Diemen's Land period through the colonial era — the establishment of post offices, mail routes, and the postmarks used across the island's towns and settlements.
The companion volume to Part I, covering the later period of Tasmanian postal history and postal markings. Where Part I focused on the early Van Diemen's Land period through the colonial era, Part II extends the record into the later period, covering additional postmarks, post office openings and closures, and the development of the Tasmanian postal network through the Federation era and beyond.
