AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Among the 'Topics of the Week', the Australasian reflects on the 'general philanthropy and benevolence' of the Rev'd James Taylor in raising funds to purchase an 'unprepossessing chapel' lying between Bourke and Little Bourke Streets. The Australasian states that Taylor proposes to establish 'a reading -room well supplied with newspapers and periodicals, open free, every evening; a library of good and instructive books; and classes for the instruction of the young'.
