AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Humorous account of the underhand means used by a Melbourne wool broker friend to obtain a government auditor's position for the narrator. Lies, exaggerations and appeals to MP's and the minister through political manouvres finally secure him the position. Cynical, light. (PB)
