James Bonwick (1817-1906), the Victorian educator and historian, acquired land in Kew on which to establish a home and school in 1853, not 1854 as more commonly stated. Bonwick returned to England in 1859 for a period, later returning to Melbourne and settling in St Kilda. He was the author of a number of histories and an official transcriber of Government records.This newly acquired document, from a former owner of 'Parkhill' (20 Hillcrest Avenue, Kew), is of statewide importance as it is the original copy of the agreement made between Thomas Judd of Parkhill and James Bonwick in 1853 for the purchase of land in Kew. Both Thomas Judd and James Bonwick were significant pioneers of Victoria.TRANSCRIPT [TITLE] Thomas Judd to James Bonwick Agreement for Sale of Land at Parish of Boroondara [PAGE 1] Articles of agreement made and entered into this the Twentyth eighth day of February One thousand Eight Hundred and fifty three Between Thomas Judd of Melbourne in the Colony of Victoria Gentleman of the one part and James Bonwick of Melbourne in the Colony of Victoria Gentleman of the other part whereby the said Thomas Judd agrees to sell unto the said James Bonwick who hereby agrees to purchase a piece or parcel of land containing two and half acres be the land more or less part of Portion Number Eighty five of the Parish of Boroondara in the County of Bourke commencing at a point on the Northern boundary line of the said Portion Seventeen Chains fifty links East from the North West angle of the same and bounded on the East by other part of said Portion in a line bearing South Eight Hundred and sixty two feet on the South by other part of said Portion Eighty five in a line bearing West one Hundred twenty six and half feet on the West by other part of said Portion Eighty five in a line bearing North Eight Hundred and Sixty two feet on the North by the Northern boundary line of the said Portion Eighty five in a line bearing East one Hundred twenty six and half feet to the commencing point at or for the price or sum of one [PAGE 2] One Hundred Pounds to be paid and payable in the manner hereinafter mentioned that is to say the Sum of Thirty pounds to be paid on the day of the date hereof and the sum of forty pounds by the acceptance of the said James Bonwick for that sum at three months bearing interest thereon after the rate of Eight Pounds per centum per annum and the Sum of Thirty pounds by the acceptance of the said James Bonwick for that sum after Six months with interest thereon after the rate of Eight pounds per centum per annum It is furthermore agreed that the said James Bonwick shall have access by a right of way fifteen feet wide reserved by the said Thomas Judd to the Government Road being the Southern Boundary of Portion Eighty five.

The "John and Betty" books most commonly refer to the 1950s popular primary school readers published by the Education Department of Victoria in Australia. These early educational readers were authored by teacher and educator Betty Somerville and illustrated by Marjorie Howden.The John and Betty readers were often paired with large flashcards such as these from the 1950s well into the 1970s. Teachers used large cardboard flip versions of the book pages, accompanied by distinct "picture/word" and "sentence" flashcards. Children would match individual word cards to sentences.24 large thick 'flashcards' with sentences and coloured illustrations to match the 1950's primary school reader John and Betty.

These two works of art are by Dr Don Edgar, a sociologist, educator and author. He taught sociology at Stanford University, the University of Chicago, Monash University and La Trobe University and was the founding Director of the Australian Institute of Family Studies. In the 1950s Dr Edgar was a student at Warrnambool High School and these works of art were produced at that time. For a school project he researched the early history of the Warrnambool Art Gallery and some of its collection, dating from the 19th century. In 2019 he published a book, ‘Art For the Country’, the story of Victoria’s regional art galleries and the book includes information on the founding and the later history of the Warrnambool Art Gallery.These works of art are of interest as they were painted by Dr Don Edgar, a noted academic and author today and a former resident of Warrnambool. The two works of art also have historical interest as they depict Warrnambool scenes painted over 60 years ago. .1 An art work (oil on artboard) – the Warrnambool Botanical Gardens with bridge and reflections, a gum tree and a poplar tree, all in green and orange tonings.

Juvenal Author: Edward Walford, M.A. Editor:Rev. W. Lucas Collins Publisher: William Blackwood & Sons Date: 1872non-fictionThe subject book is a specific volume from a highly popular Victorian series called "Ancient Classics for English Readers." While Rev. W. Lucas Collins was the overarching editor of the entire 28-volume series (which explains why his name is prominently attached to it), the specific volume on Juvenal published in 1872 was actually written by a scholar named Edward Walford, M.A. The book is an introduction to Juvenal (Decimus Iunius Iuvenalis), a famous Roman poet active in the late 1st and early 2nd centuries AD. Juvenal is renowned for his Satires, which fiercely attacked the corruption, decadence, vice, and hypocrisy of Roman society under the Empire. In line with the rest of the series, this volume provides a translated, summarized, and curated overview of Juvenal's work. Because Juvenal's raw, unedited Latin can be incredibly explicit and vulgar, the Victorian authors heavily sanitized ("bowdlerized") the text, smoothing over the more scandalous elements to make his brilliant satire safe for a general English audience.flagstaff hil, warrnambool, flagstaff hill maritime museum, maritime museum, shipwreck coast, flagstaff hill maritime village, great ocean road, book, pattison collection, warrnambool library, warrnambool mechanics’ institute, ralph eric pattison, corangamite regional library service, warrnambool city librarian, mechanics’ institute library, victorian library board, warrnambool books and records, warrnambool children’s library, juvenal, lucas collins
