  • J. Hillis Miller
    Recent Studiesin the Nineteenth Century J. HILLIS MILLER Twenty-seven books primarily on topics in Romantic literature are sur- veyed in this review, which is the first half of a comprehensive review of books on nineteenth-century literature published between September 1968 and September 1969. The review attempts to identify some of the pervasive polarities of methodological commitment within the scholarship discussed. Now THAT THESE REVIEWS have been con- tinuing for several years, perhaps it is not unreasonable to question their utility. Their intended uses are obvious enough. Such a panoramic view is supposed to provide a handy compendium of information, with a certain degree of placing or judgment. The reviewer himself, however, with his in- veterate habit of seeking configurations and making com- parisons, may find himself wondering if surveying so many books at once might give him any special understanding of the whole they form, if they do form a whole. Could there be, he wonders, assumptions about the nature of literature and about the function of scholarship which pervade this mass of seemingly heterogeneous writings? Such assumptions might be polarities governing interpretation and ascriptions of value, polarities so taken for granted that they could form the col- lective blind spot which makes for seeing. Such a shared blindness, if it exists, would constitute the set of unspoken principles unifying at the moment the enterprise of scholar- ship and making it a sub-culture within our larger Western culture. Doubtless this is too large a question to raise in the course of a workaday descriptive review, but one can imagine an ideal review which might identify the principal strands out of which all these books are woven.

  • Myths & Stories, Lies & Truth
    THE JAMES BACKHOUSE LECTURE 1999 MYTHS & STORIES, LIES & TRUTH by NORMAN TALBOT 3 The James Backhouse Lectures This is one of a series of lectures instituted by Australia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends on the occasion of the establishment of that Yearly Meeting in 1964. This particular lecture was delivered in Canberra during the 1999 Yearly Meeting. James Backhouse was an English Friend who visited Australia from 1832 to 1838. He and his companion, George Washington Walker, travelled widely but spent most of their time in Tasmania. It was through their visit that Quaker Meetings were first established in Australia. The two men had access to individual people with authority in the young colonies, and with influence in the British Parliament and social reform movement. In painstaking reports and personal letters to such people, they made practical suggestions and urged legislative action on penal reform, on land rights and the treatment of Aborigines, and on the rum trade. James Backhouse was a botanist and naturalist. He made careful observations and published full accounts of what he saw, in addition to encouraging Friends and following the deep concern for the convicts and the Aborigines that had brought him to Australia. Australian Friends hope that this series of lectures will bring fresh insights into truth, often with reference to the needs and the aspirations of Australian Quakerism ISBN 0 909885 38 9 Copyright 1999 by Australia Yearly Meeting of The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Australia Incorporated

  • Dr Norman Charles Talbot MC, MB
    Dr Norman Charles Talbot MC, MB ChB (Melbourne) Prepared by Errol Payne Dr Norman Charles Talbot was one of a small group of medical practitioners who were instrumental in providing a very high level of care to Rockhampton and the broader Central Queensland Community in the first sixty years of the 20th Century. This brief account of his life and work is in no way the full story, but it will provide an excellent overview, and will also serve to highlight the wealth of historical information which is now available on the internet. The story is based largely on material on the public record, supplemented by an oral history interview by Dr Tom Dewar with one of Dr Talbot’s sons, Campbell, and Ellie Dean and Pat Savage who worked with him in his surgery in the 1950s.1 The story also uses photographs and other items from the Country Hospital Museum Collection. Norman Charles Talbot was born to George William Talbot, a teacher, and Isabella Mackay on 24th May 1886 in Campbells Forest, Victoria. He attended Scotch College in Melbourne and then worked there as a teacher until he was old enough to commence his study of medicine at the University of Melbourne in 1907.1 The Council of the University admitted him to the degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery on 10th June 1912.2 Photograph of Dr Norman Charles Talbot held in the Country Hospital Museum Collection. As was the case for so many young women and men at that time, Dr Talbot decided to join the war effort and enlisted in Britain with the Royal Army Medical Corps in 1915.3,4 The reason for his British enlistment was that the Australian army judged that it had enough medical practitioners at the time.1 We do not have the full story of his war service since Great Britain is not as well advanced as Australia in transferring its archives to the web.
