Melbourne: Thomas C. Lothian. March,1910. Small 8vo.92pp, [4]pp publisher's adverts. Blue cloth, lettered in gilt, blind rules. Offsetting on endpapers, a few light spots on the edges, otherwise a very good clean copy. *** Wollaston was best known for his involvement in the opal trade and wrote three well known books, The Spirit of the Child (1914), Our Wattles (1916), and Opal: the gem of the Never-Never (1924). Lesser known are two works on social issues: Compulsory Marriage (1917) and this earlier temperance tract, advocating a Federal monopoly on the sale of alcoholic drinks in Australia, largely based on the 'Gothenberg system'. .
