About This Item
Sydney NSW: University of New South Wales Press, 1994. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Small 4to. "Benjamin Short came to Australia in 1860 as an energetic youth determined to take part in the development of a new nation. Soon after arriving in Sydney he began to sell insurance for Australian Mutual Provident Society (AMP). ... His compassion and philanthropy were not only the foundations for selling life insurance, but also led him to set up the Sydney City Mission after being appalled by the scenes of destitution in Sydney's Rocks area. He went on to become an active evangelist in Australia and New Zealand, a Bible study leader, an honorary parson of the congregation, and a keen supporter of the YMCA." (Front flap) xiii, 138 pages, illustrated.
