The author's first published book. The front cover illustration is by David Low; the last six pages are a Glossary 'for the use of the thoroughly genteel'. McLaren 243. The Institute of Australian Culture contains on its website some interesting information about this book contributed by Neil Glover who made much more sense of McLaren's notes than this cataloguer. The book was issued in wrappers in cloth as here and in leather a deluxe boxed edition. Glover writes: 'McLaren speculates that 5000 copies in total were printed by E.W.Cole. Possibly 4400 Paperback 500 Cloth and 100 Leather'. In early May 1916 Cole advised Dennis the remaining stock comprised 1977 copies in wrappers 60 copies in cloth and 35 copies in leather. 'This highlights the slow sales. Following a dispute with Cole over the Bloke stories appearing in "The Sentimental Bloke" without permission Dennis purchased the remaining stock which is thought to have been pulped by George Robertson. It can therefore be assumed that approximately 2500 Paperbacks 450 Cloth and 60 Leather bound copies were sold'. Certainly one hundred years later copies in cloth are very scarce and the leather-bound edition is an absolute rarity. E.W. Cole, Book Arcade hardcover‎

‎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

‎DOUGLAS William Bloomfield‎

‎A reference written in Palmerston in the Northern Territory on 31 May 1871 for James Burton here presented as a carte de visite‎

‎The albumen paper photograph image size 92 � 57 mm is mounted on the card of 'B. Goode & Co. Photographic Artist 59 Rundle Street Adelaide' 102 � 64 mm. At the time William Bloomfield Douglas 1822-1906 was Government Resident of the Northern Territory; he had been appointed shortly after 'the return of Mr Goyder's surveying expedition to Adelaide in April 1870' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Form and context as well as content make this an unusual reference: 'These are to certify that James Burton served under my orders in the Northern Territory of South Australia as the coxswain for the boats from the 24th of June 1870 to the date hereof when he leaves at his own request to proceed to Port Adelaide in the Government Schooner "Gulnare". During the above period James Burton conducted himself to my entire satisfaction. He exhibited great skill in the management of boats and from his knowledge of the coast was most useful in navigating the inlets leading into the interior of the country.'. Burton arrived at Port Darwin on the 'Gulnare' under Captain Samuel Sweet in March 1869; he departed in June 1871. He subsequently returned to Palmerston as part of the Overland Telegraph party under A.J. Mitchell embarking from Adelaide on the 'Omeo' in December 1871. Presumably the reference well-thumbed by the time Bernard Goode took its photograph was of benefit to him. Douglas was not so fortunate. 'He governed like a white rajah but lacked the competence to introduce a suitable administration. He squandered money ignored instructions and quarrelled with subordinates. He failed to control the gold rush which he encouraged and probably delayed the introduction of the 1872 mining regulations in order to protect his own investment. By early 1873 his ambitions were shattered and he had to be warned about his drinking. With a characteristic burst of energy he tried to put his administration in order but in June Thomas Reynolds the commissioner of crown lands visited Palmerston Darwin and Douglas had to resign. Douglas returned to Adelaide financially ruined. In April 1874 the government sent him to Singapore on a mission he had proposed in 1871 to recruit Chinese miners for the Northern Territory. Almost 200 came to Australia in the first group but Douglas stayed in Singapore where in October he became acting police magistrate and in May 1875 second police magistrate. As British control extended in the Malay States he became acting assistant resident of Selangor in November and acting resident in April 1876. Selangor flourished in spite of Douglas's shortcomings. His incompetence was soon discovered' and history repeated itself ADB. unknown‎
