Miller. including newspaper clippings and bibliography. Includes his convict days, his escape, detailed reference to Aboriginal Australians, their customs and language, Buckley's relationship with John Batman, life in Tasmania, 1838-1852 Includes chapters : 'Notes on Aboriginal customs' and 'Identification of localities mentioned in the narrative concerning William Buckley" Everard Studley Miller (1886-1956), philanthropist, was born on 24 October 1886 at Studley Park, Kew, Melbourne, younger of two sons of (Sir) Edward Miller, banker, and his wife Mary Elizabeth, née Darlot, and grandson of Henry ('Money') Miller. He was educated at Melbourne Church of England Grammar School and at Sherborne School, Dorsetshire, England. Though he would have liked to have gone to the University of Cambridge and become a don, he followed the wishes of his father and returned to take up his position in the family business of the Bank of Victoria, probably until 1927 when the bank amalgamated. He had continued studies under (Sir) Archibald Strong, classical scholar and writer. In 1914 he joined the (Royal) Historical Society of Victoria and attended meetings of the Classical Association. Miller collected small objets d'art and prints, particularly Arundel chromolithographs reproducing Italian Primitives. His chief interests were engineering and photography. He practised the latter from 1903, increasingly for the purpose of historical study, as an aid to preserving 'the monumental memories of early Australia'; he assembled his work in a series of albums, the first of which was called Historical Monuments in Victoria I. In the pursuit of family history and the history of pioneers he travelled extensively, first in Tasmania and later in Great Britain and Europe. Between 1914 and 1919 he joined Isaac Selby in protesting against the resumption of the old Melbourne cemetery which contained monuments to distinguished pioneers of the Port Phillip settlement. Daryl Lindsay, from 1941 director of the National Gallery of Victoria, on whom Miller called frequently, remembered that he showed considerable interest in the administration of the Felton Bequest. In increasingly poor health after World War II, Miller lived quietly at the family house Glyn, designed by the architect Rodney Howard Alsop, in Kooyong Road, Toorak, until his death on 5 July 1956. He was cremated with Anglican rites. A bachelor, tall and distinguished-looking, he was shy and retiring in manner, inclined to contemplation rather than business or society. His most cherished ambition took form in a will which, from an estate sworn for probate at £262,950, bequeathed property and money to the value of £170,000 to the National Gallery of Victoria, as a purchasing fund to be used for the acquisition of 'portraits of individuals of merit in history, painted, engraved or sculptured before 1800'. Purchases were made from about 1960 until 1977 when the fund was exhausted. His collection of photographic material was left to the Royal Historical Society of Victoria; the classics department of the University of Melbourne obtained a selection of his library. *Please note : these records reflect the creator’s views, and/or those of the period and may contain terms and views which are culturally sensitive and not considered appropriate today.

Panoramic view looking along Toorak Road, Toorak, 1920; T.W. Cameron (Firm); GS-BCS-40
GS-BCS-40; Panoramic view looking along Toorak Road, Toorak, 1920; T.W. Cameron (Firm); This elevated view of the north side of Toorak Road looking east was probably photographed from the tower of St John's Church, which is situated on the south-east corner of Orrong and Toorak roads. Located east of Lansell Road, the red brick building seen just left of the middle of the image is a chapel and presbytery built by the Catholic Church in 1911. In 1922, St Peter's Catholic Church was built on this site. The grey and white steeple, seen on the horizon to the right of the image, belongs to the Presbyterian (Uniting) Church, built in 1876, north of St Georges Road. The houses and mansions occupying the land between the two churches, that is, the land between Lansell Road and St Georges Road, were built on the Toorak House estate after it was subdivided in 1874 and 1900. William Drummond bought at least two allotments facing Toorak Road, and built 'Kildrum' in 1902, a mansion with a coach house and outhouses. An early electric tram can be seen passing in front of St Peter's. The Prahran municipality was one of the first to establish a tram service in 1910. Image most probably reproduced from 'The History of Prahran, from its first settlement to a City' (2nd. ed. 1924) by J. B. Cooper, opposite p140.

University of Melbourne : first building - original design, c. 1855; T.W. Cameron (Firm); GS-BCS-46
GS-BCS-46; University of Melbourne : first building - original design, c. 1855; T.W. Cameron (Firm); This etching of the proposed first major building (quadrangle) to be constructed at the University of Melbourne campus, focusses on the south wing with its short tower. Unfortunately, after building the other three wings of the quadrangle, there were no more funds to complete this fourth, south side above the foundations. This image is probably one of the etchings commissioned by the architect, Francis Maloney White, of the building he envisioned. He based his design on contemporary British university buildings which favoured the Tudor Gothic style to denote ties to traditional seats of learning, but with an absence of ecclesiastic features, to indicate modernity and secular ideas. The foundation stone was laid in 1854 by the first Chancellor, Sir Redmond Barry, and the Lieutenant-Governor, Sir Charles Hotham. The design was altered many times during the build. The original design of the south wing tower inspired the clocktower of the Old Arts building opened in 1924. The south wing was finally constructed in 1969. A creek was dammed to create the lake, and gardens of native and exotic plantings and meandering paths were landscaped around the Quadrangle. Also see "A History of the University of Melbourne" by E. Scott (1936) opposite p12. Similar image GS-EM-72.
