| Annotation | The advances are mostly technological, although from our perspective even the technological changes seem quite limited. Speed of travel by ship is mentioned often. There is a suspension bridge between Dover and Calais. Relatively little social change. For example, Australia remains a colony and is supporting Britain in its war with China. Australia’s population has grown significantly, but there is no mention of significant expansion beyond the East Coast. The Aboriginal population has died out around Sydney, but still exists to the North. |
