131324Fine. One page quarto folded once across the middle; in fine condition. The letter accompanied an inscribed and signed copy of Thiele's book 'The Little Desert' Rigby 1975. It is dated 3 April 1997 and was sent from King Scrub via Dayboro in Queensland where the Thieles lived after leaving Adelaide. <p>He is responding to a letter from his old Adelaide friend Alan Brissenden 1932-2020 academic noted scholar of Shakespeare writer and critic who had recently visited the Little Desert in Victoria's Wimmera district and in the first paragraph he writes about his love for the area. He encloses a photocopy of a recent newspaper article still present on the practice of modern plagiarism which leads him to a critical discussion of the actions of Helen Demidenko / Darville referencing her recent fortnightly columns in the 'Courier Mail' 'Her first piece was unbelievably awful. A few days later it was revealed that - yet again - she had pinched much of it verbatim from an American "professor" on the Internet'. Apparently plagiarism 'is actually taught as a technique at some universities . Incredible! We obviously live in "the new morality"'. <p>He finishes on a positive note still busy with publishers 'although I think it is about time I hung up my keyboard and retired to a hammock under the palm trees. Now I'll let you get on with your own work so that you can finish a book on Shakespeare with a bit of post-modern intertextualisation'. unknown

Gates was a South Australian headmaster who became a legend in his own time not because of his scholarship humanity or educational insight but because of his foibles fury and autocratic single-mindedness - and above all because of the unique way in which he handled the English language.

9946Melbourne 1914: Albert J Mullett Govt Printer. Pamphlet. <p>The Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia. The War - Temperance Measures in Russia.</p> <p><br /> The Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia<br /> <br /> The War - Temperance Measures in Russia: despatch from his Majesty's Ambassador at Petrograd enclosing a memorandum on the subject of the temperance measures adopted in Russia since the outbreak of the European War<br /> <br /> Melbourne : Albert J Mullett Government Printer for the State of Victoria. No 108 - F6748.<br /> <br /> <br /> Folio 340x210mm cream single leaf printed to both sides 2pp<br /> <br /> When World War I broke out in 1914 almost all of the participant countries including Russia restricted alcohol. Because of the policies noted here closing all liquor outlets and prohibiting the sale of alcohol until the end of the war Russia was able to put its armies in the field much quicker than Germany securing early victories on the Eastern Front. Although the Tsar had been seeking to reduce his empire's reliance on and addiction to vodka spurred on by the Government's absolute control for some centuries of vodka production and distribution for some time in September 1914 he effectively invoked prohibition; making Russia the first prohibition country in the world five years early than the USA. Some scholars now contend that this prohibition and its economic consequences was one of the main causes contributing to the Russian Revolution. Prohibition of State controlled Vodka continued until Stalin came to power in 1924.<br /> <br /> The recipient Sir Edward Grey was the British Foreign Secretary. Why he forwarded it to the Australian Parliament or why it was published in 1915 is unclear; howeverduring World War I temperance and patriotism had become firmly welded together in the public's mind due to increased activism by the temperance movement. In 1915 there was a significant debate about temperance and its importance to the war effort. Bipartisan political and religious support meant that temperance measures but not prohibition were enacted throughout Australia such as early closing hours to 'preserve the empire' and 'support the troops'.<br /> <br /> An intriguing insight into the confluence of war and prohibition. A fine copy.<br /> <br /> § Trove records 1 holding. Only 950 copies were produced.</p> Albert J Mullett, Govt Printer unknown

The Duke is pictured with Lord Richard Nevill private secretary to the Governor of South Australia. Buckland Park is a pastoral property near Port Gawler South Australia. George Frederick Ernest Albert The Duke of Cornwall and York and later King George V 1865-1936 was the second eldest son of King Edward VII who ascended the throne on Queen Victoria's death in January 1901. With the first Parliament of Australia set to open in early May the mourning King sent George now next in line to the throne to Australia as his representative. The Duke and his Duchess Mary 1867-1953 left England on 15 March aboard an Orient steamship specially chartered for the voyage. Two days after arriving in Melbourne on 9 May the royal couple drove through streets lined with cheering crowds to the Exhibition Building where the Duke declared the Parliament open before thousands of guests. 'The Duke and Duchess were kept busy with a program ranging from dinner and a University Commencement to the presentation of prizes to public schools. They also managed to visit briefly country Victoria. Nevertheless during their 10-day visit they still managed to fit in a day's shooting. The tour also included visits to other states New Zealand South Africa and Canada' Museums Victoria website. The official party made a short visit to South Australia 10-15 July not least to take up an invitation for another day's shooting . Alice Foster tells the story in the 'Salisbury and District Local History Newsletter' December 2019: 'Mr Leonard Browne the owner of Buckland Park and at the time in England invited the Royal party to a shooting excursion to his property. The Royal party consisted of HRH The Duke of Cornwall Prince Alexander of Teck Lord Wenlock Sir Charles Cust The Hon. Derek-Keppel Commodore Winsloe and Commander Faussett. On 3rd July 1901 a special meeting was held in the Salisbury Institute to make arrangements for welcoming their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall who were to make a short stay on their journey to Buckland Park on Friday 12th July. There was a large attendance and Mr J.P. Swann was elected chairman on the motion of Dr E. Brookes seconded by the Rev. S. Moncrieff. It was decided to form a committee who were empowered to make the necessary arrangements. As Salisbury was the only town in South Australia to be visited by the Royal party there was great enthusiasm from the residents with suggestions for decorating the railway station. An orange arch consisting of branches blossoms and fruit would be formed and extended from the station gate to the spot where his Royal Highness's carriage would stand. The scholars of Salisbury and neighbouring schools would constitute a guard of honour to the Duke. The Royal train left North Terrace station a few minutes after 9 am driven by Mr Thomas Youll and sped swiftly on its way reaching Salisbury at 9.25 am. A crowd of townsfolk had assembled and church choirs and state school children united in singing the national anthem. The Hon. J. Stirling MLC drove His Royal Highness from Salisbury to Buckland Park arriving at 11 am. A good morning's sport was obtained in the swamps near the sea and luncheon was prepared in two marquees. A facsimile of the pigeongram sent by His Royal Highness follows: "We only got about 325 this should read 35 ducks this morning hope to get some peacocks this afternoon. G." . The special train left Salisbury at 6.08 pm and arrived in Adelaide at 6.20 pm' with all on board tired but happy. The game book saw little use with only the first three pages filled in. The first entry is dated 29 January 1898 and there are 20 separate entries in that year. There are ten parties in 1901 one in 1902 two in 1907 and the final one in 1936. However 1901 is the stellar year with numerous old South Australian names manning the guns: these include Baker Belt Hawker Jacob Matheson Phillipson Rounsevell and Stow. The names of the Duke's party are listed in a scribe's hand; only 40 peafowl were added to the aforementioned ducks and the remarks column has nothing remarkable to say 'One hour at ducks in morning only'. A fortnight later Messrs Hawker Phillipson Belt Belt Stow and Matheson had better luck bagging 41 ducks 2 stilts 1 avocet 1 sandpiper and 2 rabbits and reporting it was 'Cold & wet. Birds fairly plentiful but wary of new hides. Meat pies good'. 2 items. hardcover
