Description:
Sydney: Canberra Advertising Ltd, 1937. Volume 2. No.1 February 7th, 1937 'Hatman's Review: Incorporating Mercery Lines' Offical Organ of the Hat Trade Wonderful illustrated trade journal with lively advisements for local businesses and headlines on everything from the 'MARKET REPORT: RABBIT SKINS' to ' M. STALIN ORDERS DINNER JACKET: The Moscow correspondent of the "Daily Sketch" says that an almost revolutionary change in drawing room fashions in Moscow is indicated by an order for a dinner jacket for the Soviet dictator (M. Stalin). It would have been unwise even a few months ago for a Soviet diplomat to wear evening dress at domestic gatherings. M. Stalin invariably wore a black and grey uniform coat or a Russian shirt. Lately hints have been dropped that evening dress should be encouraged to express Moscow's prosperity.'. Quarto, 12 pages, pale green illustrated paper wrappers, staple-bound, a very good copy.

Almost nothing of a philosophical bent was published in Australia before the 1850s and the creation of the Universities of Sydney and Melbourne. Perhaps the earliest philosophical work printed in Sydney? Elwin says that he translated part of the eighteenth-century writer Metastasio's critical observations on the Poetics in order to place "such portion as appeared to be likely to engage the attention, as well from the nature of the immediate topic, as from the spirited manner in which it is treated... within reach of the English reader". Metastasio, or Pietro Antonio Domenico Trapassi, is best known today because Mozart used his "La Clemenzo di Tito" as the basis for his libretto. Ferguson originally entered the translator as Elwin… Read More
