AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Unlike most Australian fiction, this story is almost entirely concerned with city life. Richard Rowley Baynes is a typical ambitious Australian who starts on the ground floor and works to the top. His view of Australian Society is that of a keen witted climber, with some experience of London for comparison, and his career makes piquant reading for those who know anything about Australian life. Its strong human interest, however, is sufficient to command the interest of readers anywhere. The characters are lifelike, but no one in the story is intended to represent a real person.'
