AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Thomas J. Carr, Archbishop of Melbourne, comments in the preface: 'It is a book of essays. Many of them are connected with Australia and things Australian. Literary topics such as "Elegies and Epitaphs" and "Oliver Goldsmith", are discussed in a homely and fascinating way. Amusing papers a la Charles Lamb are not the least attractive pages of the publication. The volume contains also historical sketches of genuine interest.' 16 May 1911.
