1 y separately published work icon The Ploughboy Premier : A Story for Boys 'Arthur Ferres' , Sydney : Websdale, Shoosmith & Co. , 1916 Z1156342 1916 single work children's fiction children's This story has one, and only one, object - to show the influence for good that may be contained within the sphere of a bush school library. That a boy such as Tom Skidmore was, and with his poor opportunities should attain to the position of Prime Minister of New South Wales, will not be regarded as improbable; for the whole history of the Australasian Colonies proves the truth of the assumption, and the author earnestly prays that many more like him may arise through this influence to help to guide the destinies of this fair land.

1 3 y separately published work icon The Electric Gun : A Tale of Love and Socialism Harold Crawford Johnston , Sydney : Harold Crawford Johnston , 1911 Z102160 1911 single work novel science fiction

'The Electric Gun is a bit of fiction that is not only out of the track of ordinary stories, but which is startingly attractive and so possible to make the reader heave the sigh of satisfaction that one looses on awakening from a horrible dream. Here the tether of socialism is carefully measured; and the following of realistic details makes one associate the story with some of Labor's recent extremes.'
