This text comes with a short introduction which explores the life of the 'landboomers' of Melbourne in the 1890s. In the introduction Henry Gyles Turner, Alexander Sutherland and William Turner are discussed.
In some ways this booklet should be viewed as an Appendix for 'William Turner 1831-1919: Selected Writings' as the detail from the introduction is in that book.
Do not forget Alexander Sutherland's work with Melbourne University and the private schools of Victoria. He taught at Hawthorn Grammar School, Scotch College and Carlton College (of which he was Head). He also wrote school textbooks (especially in Geography and History) which were important at the time and verse, stories, histories, science and journalism. He also tried to enter politics. He was born in Scotland and was central to the Victorian society which seemed to eat and breathe new ideas--as such he deserves to be better remembered.
