  • 1907

Typescript poem 'The victory : Murwillumbah ... Sept 15th 1907-8'. Unpublished. Most likely written by George Essex Evans. Found in the book A new star atlas for the library, school, and the observatory in twelve circular maps by Richard A. Proctor. The book was donated by the family of George Essex Evans. The poem is accompanied by newspaper cuttings from the period 1922-1929, mostly relating to astronomy that were also inserted into Proctor's book.

Australian birthright

  • F3815
  • Item
  • [1946?]

Unpublished eleven page typescript poem in homage to the Australian landscape and nation, text on rectos only. Quarto, cloth backed folder with manuscript title label (vertical crease); inscribed by author on verso of front cover 'For dear Jim -- a little "Welcome Home" tribute from his friend Isabelle Moresby. 20.1.46', with later bookplate of Melbourne bibliophile Jeff Prentice; first page of typescript signed by Moresby; the poem has several corrections made by the author.

This patriotic poem (spoiler: it contains the word 'girt') was apparently originally to be titled Birthright, and attributed to 'Kirroo', but that heading, which appeared on all but the first page of text, has in each case been almost obscured beneath a blank piece of paper laid on by the author. -- Publisher's blurb
