[AUSTRALIAN CHINESE]. Chinese Remonstrance to the Parliament and People of Victoria. Issued by their committee: Cheok Hong Cheong, Chairman.
Melbourne, Marshall 1888. octavo printed wrapper; 43pp. Corner torn from the first two leaves. A vertical fold but certainly a good enough copy. ¶ The Chinese community’s protest against the 'harshness and injustice' of government actions against the Chinese, the 'recent outbreak of fanaticism' and impending legislation. Added is their very unsatisfying correspondence with the Victorian Premier’s department, an address to the Australasian Conference and pleas for better understanding and tolerance.
