Savant of the Australian Seas

by A J Harrison

2nd Edition (Dec. 2005)

 

My biography of William Saville-Kent was published by the Tasmanian Historical Research Association in 1997 with the assistance from Arts Tasmania's Tasmanian Research Publication Fund. Since the print run was exhausted I have been approached by many people seeking copies so, with the happy aquiescence of the Association. I have produced a new electronic edition. This also provides me with opportunity to include new information, some provided through the generous assistance of people such as Genoveva Esteban, John Ruffels, Norma Kyle: I have also corrected one or two errors in the first edition.), The new edition is located on the STORS website of the State Library of Tasmania and the links below will take you there. Whilst you will not see the material if you click on the name of the file it will be instantly downloaded to you..
