Scientific Forword by E. J. Steele 'Evoking That Sense of Wonder'.(pp.17-22).

Dorothy Green, 'Introduction Elliot Lovegood Grant Watson' (pp.25-36).

In 1990 Primavera Press published Descent of Spirit. The book resulted from approaches Paul Brennan of Primavera Press made to both Josephine Spence, the daughter of Grant Watson, and the literary historian Dorothy Green. For a number of years Green had been working on a biography of Grant Watson and she wrote a biographical introduction to the book. A scientific introduction was written by Dr E.J. (Ted) Steele of the Department of Biology, University of Wollongong. The book was launched in February 1990 at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra by Barry Jones, Minister for Science. During the course of publishing the book, Brennan established a close working relationship with Josephine Spence. Spence appointed Brennan as the agent for E.L. Grant Watson's works.
