THIS life is the crossing of a sea, where we meet in the same narrow ship. In death we reach the shore and go to our different worlds.
The Miegunyah Press At Melbourne University Press, Carlton, Australia, Date: 1997. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. Illustrator: Various. 600 g; XII, 248 pages, last page blank, includes endnotes, bibliography, index. Illustrated with political cartoons, and black-and-white photographs. Illustrated dust jacket. Charles Kingston was a leading player in Australia's Federation. He became Premier of South Australia in 1893 yet cared little for the norms of the polite, colonial society of the late 19th century Adelaide and, together with his wife Lucy, was ostracised accordingly. He was accused of adultery and subsequently adopted an illegitimate child; he challenged a political opponent to duel; yet he introduced radical and progressive legislation on industrial conciliation and arbitration, on the creation of the State Bank of South Australia, and on trade and tariff reforms. Thanks to him South Australia led the world on the enfranchisement of women. And Kingston's commitment and contribution to the cause and creation of Australian federalism was beyond question. -- front fold over blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
