About This Item
Canberra: Mulini Press, 1996. Paperback thin trade, stapled pamphlet, very good plus condition, black & white text drawings, minimal edgewear. 34 pp. This pamphlet was published to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Marcus Clarke on 24 April 1846. The novelist is best known for his "For the Term of His Natural Life". He also wrote articles and essays. Among the latter is this essay about Gardens and Flowers. The main part of the essay is about the Botanic Gardens of Melbourne as they were in the 1870s just after they had been taken over from Ferdinand von Mueller by William Guilfoyle.
