Book Description
Presumably the contract for the official Victorian Post Office directory passed from Bailliere (q.v.) to Wise in the 1880s. As before, inhabitants of the colony are listed by town or suburb and by surname, though a random check identified surnames not listed also by locality. (That is, the list by name appears to be more comprehensive than the list by town, where the emphasis is upon residents engaged in commerce, the professions or public life.) Seven editions are available: 1884-5, 1888-9, 1891-2, 1893-4, 1895-6, 1897-8, 1899-1900. Many minor indexes are also included, such as legal, medical, trade, and local government directories.

Book Description
First published in Germany in 1929, The End and the Beginning is a lively personal memoir of a vanished world and of a rebellious, high-spirited young woman's struggle to achieve independence. Born in 1883 into a distinguished and wealthy aristocratic family of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire, Hermynia Zur Muhlen spent much of her childhood travelling in Europe and North Africa with her diplomat father. After five years on her German husband's estate in czarist Russia she broke with both her family and her husband and set out on a precarious career as a professional writer committed to socialism. Besides translating many leading contemporary authors, notably Upton Sinclair, into German, she herself published an impressive number of politically engaged novels, detective stories, short stories, and children's fairy tales. Because of her outspoken opposition to National Socialism, she had to flee her native Austria in 1938 and seek refuge in England, where she died, virtually penniless, in 1951. This revised and corrected translation of Zur Muhlen's memoir - with extensive notes and an essay on the author by Lionel Gossman - will appeal especially to readers interested in women's history, the Central European aristocratic world that came to an end with the First World War, and the culture and politics of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
