Wild Men Of Sydney

By Cyril Pearl
Published by Lansdowne Press Pty Ltd: Melbourne 1965


" Cyril Altson Pearl (1904-1987), journalist, social historian, biographer and wit, was born on 11 April 1904 at Fitzroy, Melbourne, second child of Jewish parents Joseph Pearl, gem-dealer, and his wife Goldy, née Altson, both born in England. Cyril later described them as 'tolerant, liberal-minded and prepared to let their children grow up the way they wanted to'. He was educated at state and Catholic primary schools at Carlton, at Scotch College, Melbourne and, when the family moved to Western Australia, at Perth High School. Returning to Victoria, he may have worked in the Melbourne Public Library; from 1931 he attended the University of Melbourne, where he studied Russian and philosophy, and attended Frederic Wood Jones's lectures in neurology. He left without taking a degree."
