Ray Wright’s A Blended House: The Legislative Council of Victoria 1851-1856 is the go-to illustrated reference for collectors of Australian political history. This 2001 paperback dissects the turbulent birth of colonial self-government, charting how Victoria’s first Legislative Council balanced appointed and elected members in the decade before full responsible government.

Ideal for adults and young adults curious about Australian politics or Victorian-era lawmaking, Wright’s narrative delivers a concise yet authoritative account of the era. Clean pages, no markings, and light exterior wear mean the book reads like new while still showing gentle shelf life.

An illustrated, non-fiction gem for anyone building a library of Australiana, government reference, or biographies and true stories from the gold-rush colony.
