AUSTRALIAN HISTORICAL MONOGRAPHS
This monograph was originally published privately by Dr. George Mackaness in a limited edition of 200 copies.
This is VOLUME XVIII in the new series of AUSTRALIAN HISTORICAL MONOGRAPHS. It was Volume XV in the original series.
DR. GEORGE MACKANESS
Dr. George Mackaness, O.B.E., M.A.. Litt.D. (Melb.), D. Litt. (Syd.), Hon. D.Sc. (Syd.), F.R.A.H.S., was born in Sydney in 1882, and was a distinguished author and educationalist. He was in charge of the Department of English at Sydney Teachers' College from 1924 to 1946, was the N. S. W. Representative on the Commonwealth Literary Fund from 1938, and was President of the Royal Australian Historical Society (1948-49). He died in 1968.
Dr. Mackaness wrote over 70 books and journal articles, including such outstanding historical works as "The Life of Vice-Admiral William Bligh" (1931), and "Admiral Arthur Phillip, R. N.: Founder and First Governor of New South Wales" (1937). He edited anthologies such as "Poets of Australia" (1946), "Australian Short Stories" (1928), and poetic works of Byron and Wordsworth.
Between 1935 and 1962, Dr. Mackaness edited and privately produced in limited editions, the series of Australian Historical Monographs, of which this volume is part.
These monographs, totalling 46, cover an enormous range of Australian historical subjects and represent a considerable amount of original research on the part of Dr Mackaness since most of the material in them had not previously been published. Since the monographs were produced only in very limited editions (some as few as 30 copies), their circulation has been very restricted, though their reputation amongst historians and scholars stands very high.
Review Publications Pty. Ltd. hopes that the work of Dr. Mackaness will receive a much wider public recognition as a result of the reprinting of these important monographs.
This reprint edition was printed by Dubbo Printing Works, Dubbo, N. S. W., Australia, in 1977, for the publishers...
