Robert Torrens 1780-1864 'officer of marines political economist and colonization commissioner'; his 'economic writings are of much importance in the development of economic theory' DNB. In the preface to this book he writes: 'The art of Colonization is based upon the science of wealth; and the rules of the art are principles of the science naturally applied. In replying to objections and in explaining the plan and in unfolding the prospects of the New Colony the Author was naturally and indeed necessarily led into discussions upon some of the fundamental doctrines of Political Economy. In some of these discussions as it is believed new and not unimportant views have been opened'. Not least he was the father of Sir Robert Richard Torrens the lands title law reformer after whom the Torrens system is named. Fox Maule 1801-1874 second Baron Panmure and eventually eleventh Earl of Dalhousie 'sat in the House of Commons in the liberal interest in 1835-7 as MP for Perthshire'; Torrens retired from the House in 1835.

Town Planning
'Colonel Light Gardens.' A Model Garden Suburb. Comfort Convenience Beauty
Adelaide: South Australian Government printed by Collotype Co. 1921. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Adelaide South Australian Government printed by Collotype Co. 1921. Small oblong octavo 8 pages plus a folding colour bird's-eye view of the suburb 'as it will appear when developed' 220 � 355 mm and a folding plan of the entire development area 225 � 362 mm but lacking the large centrefold map. This is referred to on the latter plan which has printed in the bottom margin: 'See enlarged plan at centre of brochure' below 'Portion left of dotted line now open for selection'. Saddle-stapled bright red wrappers with the full title lettered attractively in gilt on the front cover; small light tidemarks to the leading edge of both covers with minimal impact on the leading edge of the four leaves; text centrefold detached from the staples; trifling signs of age and use including a relatively modern inkstamp - LoGIC - inside the front cover and on the blank verso of the plan at the rear; overall a very good copy. The 'Beautiful track sic of country nestling at the foothills of Adelaide has . been chosen by the South Australian Government for the purpose of establishing a modern Garden Suburb. The design is the work of the Government Townplanner and embodies the most useful and proved ideals in present day townplanning practice. In honour of the memory of Colonel Light South Australia's First Surveyor General the suburb has been officially named "Colonel Light Gardens". Special attention is directed to the fact that the land is available for application by any person and is not set apart for the exclusive purpose of settling returned soldiers' introductory note. This last point is apposite: the land under development was 'late Mitcham Military Camp'. The man behind the plan was Charles Compton Reade 1880-1933 who was offered by the State Government of South Australia 'a new engagement as town planner from 1 July 1918 for a period of two years'. Frustrated by the realization that 'decent people cannot attempt to do decent work for the good of Australia without personal malice and misrepresentation to hinder them' he sought greener pastures. He 'was the first government town planner in the Federated Malay States in 1921-30 . From 1930 to 1933 he was director of town planning and development for the Protectorate of Northern Rhodesia . On 16 October 1933 Reade arrived in Johannesburg to become town planning expert for the Rand and Pretoria. He attended a meeting of the Witwatersrand joint town planning committee and offices were engaged for him. On Saturday 28 October he was found shot dead in his hotel room with a revolver beside him. Enquiries made by the "Rand Daily Mail" revealed that he had been "suffering from repeated attacks of malarial fever and was much depressed as a result"' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. His 'Model Garden Suburb' of Colonel Light Gardens seems a fitting memorial. South Australian Government (printed by Collotype Co.) paperback
