Book of Cathedrals and Abbeys of England

This book was published by Cassell and Co in 1891. The contributor found this in an auction house in Tasmania, and bought it for her sister back in Beverley. How did the book end up in Tasmania? It's possible it was taken out by someone being transported or emigrating. John Cassell started his publishing house in 1891, having also been a temperance preacher, a carpenter and a merchant.
