Melbourne: An Annotated Bibliography to 1850
By C.P. Billot
Published by Rippleside Press: Geelong 1970 1st Edition
Limited Edition Pressing

" Cyril Pearl's Wild Men of Sydney is a lively and incisive chronicle of the corruption, ambition, and intrigue that shaped colonial New South Wales during the mid-nineteenth century. With his trademark wit and journalistic flair, Pearl exposes the tangled alliances between politicians, businessmen, and press magnates who wielded immense power in Sydney's formative years. Drawing on contemporary newspapers, court records, and private correspondence, he paints a vivid picture of figures such as John Norton and Ezra Norton, weaving together episodes of scandal, manipulation, and public hypocrisy that reveal the raw energy and moral contradictions of a young colony striving for respectability.

First published in 1958 and reissued in this 1970 Hong Kong edition, Wild Men of Sydney remains a compelling study of the forces that shaped early Australian political and media life. Blending historical rigour with sharp humour, Pearl turns history into high drama, making this a fascinating read for students of Australian history, collectors of mid-century Australiana, and admirers of colourful tales from the nation's colonial past."
