AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Early Australian history can show no policeman more picturesque than Alexander Tolmer, and no rogue more resourceful and impudent than John Anderson. Their only encounter produced a comedy, although Tolmer couldn't enjoy the joke until the passing of the years enabled him to see it in its right perspective.' (p. 764)
