This is part of a larger utopian novel in which Maurice Fenton, of Brisbane is injured in 1891 and awakens in 1995. He finds that Brisbane has become the perfect city with an almost perfect population. This utopia has developed because people followed the 'Single Tax' and other teachings of Henry George. The complete work seems to have disappeared and was probably never published.(Description by William Metcalf)
