Provenenace: Ex-libris W.P. Firebrace - Excerpt From Argus Newspaper 29th June 1908: " Mr Firebrace was born at New Amsterdam, Berbice, British Guiana, and was the eldest son of Judge Firebrace, of Demerara, a division of British Guiana. He was educated in Great Britain, and came to Melbourne in March 1850. In the following year he entered the service of the Victorian Government as a clerk in the office of the registrar of the Supreme Court under Mr J. D. Pinnock and subsequently became chief clerk. On the death of the prothonotary (Mr. J. Alfred Carter) he carried on the duties of the department until 1883, when he received the appointment of prothonotary - a position he held until his retirement from active duty about 12 year ago. Besides being a great reader and collector of books , Mr Firebrace was an enthusiastic musician. For many years he was a lending member of the choirs at St Peter's Eastern Hill and All Saints', East St Kilda. Latterly he was a constant attendant in St Paul's Cathedral and a generous contributor to its musical library, his gifts being always representative of the soundest school of English church music."

" George Charles Williamson (1858-1942) was a British art historian, antiquarian, and author of numerous books on European art and artists. He sometimes wrote under the pen name Rowley Cleeve."
