Download or read book The Land Boomers written by Michael Cannon and published by Melbourne University Publish. This book was released on 1995 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boom or bust? What was the truth of the great land booms that swept Australia in the 1880s and 1890s? How was it that some speculators amassed prodigious fortunes, while others went so spectacularly broke? Seventy years after the events, historian Michael Cannon began sifting through thousands of records and documents, long since filed and forgotten. He pieced together an incredible trail of corruption and roguery, rarely if ever equalled in any parliamentary democracy. When the bare bones of this expos were first published in 1966, it caused an immediate sensation as the forebears of many well-known families were involved. Never before had any Australian historian been able to document such unbridled greed and over-riding ambition. Extended and revised, The Land Boomers is generously illustrated with cartoons, photographs and etchings of the time, and includes an introduction by the author on how he came to research and write the book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Honourable James Balfour, M. L. C: A Memoir It has not been my purpose to write a full life of the Hon. James Balfour. To do so would have involved researches, for which I have neither the time nor the energy, into the whole political, social, and religious life in the State of Victoria during more than 60 years. The task I have set myself is much less ambitious. I knew him intimately for 48 years, and, during that long period of entirely unbroken friendship, I received an ever deepening impression of his unique and wholehearted fidelity to the highest religious and moral convictions. With an ease and certainty which I have witnessed in no other man whom I have known so well, his life seemed to rise to the level of his ideals. To himself, no doubt, that which was in his life looked poor and low compared with that which ought to have been; but to others it appeared that to every command of conscience illuminated by Christ he rendered instant, soldierly obedience. What he thought he ought to do he did in a measure that was quite extraordinary. Consequently, there was a harmony, a sincerity, a strength in his character which made it potent for impulse toward good, wherever he came. What I have attempted to do is to convey to others the impression I have received of his success in living as a Christian man should, amid the full tides of secular activity.

Book excerpt: This biography analyses the long political career of Arthur James Balfour (1848-1930), the Conservative politician who became the first Earl of Balfour. Professor Zebel stresses the extraordinary nature of Balfour's career, divided as it was into two specific periods. The first, dating from his entry into Parliament in 1874, and his rapid advancement as a result of family connections, comprised his period as Chief Secretary for Ireland in which he distinguished himself with his policy of 'killing Home Rule with kindness' - his leadership of the Unionists in the House of Commons, and his premiership from 1902 to 1905 in succession to his uncle, Lord Salisbury. The second, beginning in 1914, followed the period of political retirement which resulted from his party's defeat in the 1906 elections and his own loss of the party leadership in 1911. It was the more constructive.
