Author: SCOTT, G. Firth.
Title: The Last Lemurian. A Westralian romance.
Description: London, Bowden 1898. Octavo publisher's illustrated blocked in colour; three plates by Stanley L. Wood. Small flaws: inner back hinge cracked but firm; edges spotted and a scattering inside here and there. A rather good bright copy. ¶ First edition of this west Australian lost race thriller. Who can divine the springs of chance and fate? If our disgruntled hero hadn't set off west at that moment he wouldn't have met the tall bushman and if the bushman hadn't learnt some black jabber he wouldn't have heard the story of the country ruled by a giant yellow woman where boulders of gold lie about the place. An author can divine these springs and a good author doesn't carry on about it but gets on with the story.
