""One Thing I Do," or, Memorials of Charles F. Perrin is a deeply personal Victorian-era religious biography compiled by Perrin's widow as a tribute to the life, faith, and character of her late husband. Published in Melbourne in 1878, the work reflects the devotional literature of the late nineteenth century, presenting Perrin's life as a model of Christian dedication and service. Through recollections, letters, and reflections drawn largely from his own words, the book records the spiritual journey of a man whose life was shaped by a profound religious conviction and a desire to devote himself fully to the work of faith.

The narrative traces Perrin's personal transformation, describing his early life and his eventual conversion, which is portrayed as a decisive turning point that redirected his ambitions toward Christian ministry and moral purpose. His widow presents him as a man of humility and steadfast devotion whose life exemplified the Victorian evangelical ideal of purposeful living. The memoir emphasizes the sincerity of Perrin's spiritual struggle and growth, presenting his experiences not as literary embellishment but as an honest account intended to preserve the individuality of his voice and testimony.

Printed in Melbourne by Alex. McKinley & Co. for the Bible & Tract Repository in the Eastern Arcade, the book also reflects the flourishing culture of Protestant devotional publishing in colonial Australia during the late nineteenth century. Works such as this were intended both as memorials and as moral instruction, encouraging readers to pursue a life of faith and steadfast purpose. This modest but heartfelt volume will appeal particularly to collectors of early Australian religious publishing, nineteenth-century devotional literature, and readers interested in the personal narratives of Christian life in colonial Australia."
