Book excerpt: The Naval Pioneers of Australia Louis Becke The Naval Pioneers of Australia Louis Becke The Naval Pioneers of Australia by Louis Becke Learned geographers have gone back to very remote times, even to the Middle Ages, and, by the aid of old maps, have set up ingenious theories showing that the Australian continent was then known to explorers. Some evidence has been adduced of a French voyage in which the continent was discovered in the youth of the sixteenth century, and, of course, it has been asserted that the Chinese were acquainted with the land long before Europeans ventured to go so far afloat. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience

Book excerpt: George Lewis/Louis Becke (1848-1913) was an Australian short-story writer and novelist. He began his voyages in the south seas at a very early age and there are two accounts of these beginnings: one by the Earl of Pembroke, who presumably obtained his information from Becke, which is prefixed to By Reef and Palm (1894), and the other written by Becke. It is difficult to reconcile them, and all that is certain is that Becke spent many years on vessels trading in the Pacific islands. Becke went to London, and he remained in Europe for about 15 years, during which time a large number of collections of short stories and a few novels and stories for boys were published. He was fairly paid by the magazines for his stories, but he always sold his books outright. About 30 of Becke's books are listed in Miller's Australian Literature with six other volumes written in collaboration with W. J. Jeffery. Among Becke's books are: The Naval Pioneers of Australia (1899), and By Rock and Pool on an Austral Shore and Other Stories (1901).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Federal Defence of Australasia This book should do very well without a Preface. It speaks for itself, and in prospecting to find the true solution of the Federal Defence of Australia, I hope to have found the true colour. My scheme will be regarded as an advance upon the Commandants' scheme, which has been circumscribed by political and retrenchment considerations. The Colonies will not always be preach ing retrenchment, therefore, the scheme which I venture to propound will be found both practical and permanent. I have duly weighed the Opinions and arguments of many naval and military experts, and out of their a priori thought, I have tried to make the subject plain to all those who love Australasia and the sea-girt isles of the Atlantic, from whose shores the Australian populations have sprung. We are all British yet, and especially when foreign nations seek to break up the British and Colonial Empire. May the people of the United Kingdom and the British Colonies never forget each other in peace or war be true to each other in the.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Recollections: With Illustrations IN this book it has been my endeavour to recall the circumstances of life in the Navy in the middle of the nineteenth century, and also to tell the reader something about the islands of the Western Pacific as they were before they attracted the attention of distinguished men of letters. In both cases the conditions dealt with in the following pages have more or less completely passed away. They have, as far as I am aware, been rarely recorded in detail by those Who could speak from personal knowledge of them; and it is hoped that this book will supple ment such accounts as are already in existence. An early portion of the work is devoted to what is purely family history, which, it is believed, will be considered suitable and becoming in a book that is meant to be an autobiographical narrative.
