author of "Terre Napoleon" etc. With numerous portraits, maps,
manuscripts in facsimile, etc. Cloth gilt, 21s. (_postage 6d._)
THE BULLETIN: "Will take its place as one of the great biographies in
our language. The inexplicable fact that hitherto no full biography of
the first man to circumnavigate Australia has appeared is also a
fortunate fact. Flinders has waited a century for his biographer, and
it was worth this silence of a hundred years to find Ernest Scott....
And to this fervor of research must be added Ernest Scott's lucid
literary style and his interest in the personal side of his subject.
Equipment, style, sympathy, and his subject combine to make a
brilliant achievement in biography.... A word must in mere justice be
added in praise of the publishers. The appearance of the book is
worthy of its contents."
