Notes
-
The April 1933 issue of The Home includes 'Australian Huxley' (by T. H. C.), a brief section which notes: 'For Australia to put a ban of exclusion on Mr Aldous Huxley's Brave New World is like slapping one of its own children, or great-grandchildren, for Aldous Huxley's grandmother, the wife of the famous Professor, was Henrietta Anne Heathorn, of Sydney...Mrs Huxley had literary gifts which found expression in a volume of poems, and from one of them Professor Huxley chose the three lines which were inscribed on his tombstone'. (content which includes extract of poem, appears in the topical monthly column, 'Contributed Comments')
