Description
SECOND-HAND BOOK
Victorian covers the growth and formation of the State during the reign of Queen Victoria up to Federation- more than sixty years of pastoral settlement, the Gold Rush, the Land Boom and the Bank Crash.
It is Victoria seen through the eyes of twelve famous visitors, two from each decade. They include Lord Rosebery, from Scotland, John Redmond from Ireland, Sarah Bernhardt, General Booth, and finally Rudyard Kipling.
It traces the ideas that were rapidly moulding our growing society- a phenomenal growth- and related them to those of the visitors and the world from which they came.
John Oldham was born in Melbourne and educated at the Melbourne Grammar School and Melbourne University. Alfred Stirling was born in Melbourne and educated at the Scotch college, Melbourne University, and University College Oxford.
Both have served at home and abroad in the Australian Foreign Service for over thirty years.
