Scope and Contents
"The Defeat of the Martin Ministry" papers are two separate entries, written by different people, in the same journal.

A chronicle of the successful attempt to oust Sir James out of office, the account not only includes handwritten documentation, but extensive newspaper articles about the attack and its outcome. On the reverse side of the diary is a copied transcript of chapter 10 of an unknown book titled "Early Days of Port Jackson."
