A Group of Noble Dames Author: Thomas Hardy Publisher: Macmillan And Co Date: 1894 Further Information: Olive hardcover and spine with spine lettering in gold. The spine has a Library label with inscription.non-fictionThe subject novel A Group of Noble Dames is a collection of ten historical short stories bound together by a classic frame narrative. The premise is that to escape the boredom of a rainy day, ten male members of the "Wessex Field and Antiquarian Club" gather together. To pass the time, each member including a local historian, an old surgeon, a rural dean, and a churchwarden takes a turn telling a scandalous, tragic, or ironic tale about a high-born lady from the local aristocracy of the 17th and 18th centuries. Unlike Hardy's deeply somber major novels, he categorized these stories as "Romances and Fantasies." However, they still contain classic Hardyan cynicism.flagstaff hill, warrnambool, shipwrecked coast, 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, a group of noble dames, thomas hardy

As the Yarra became unsuitable as a source of water, several attempts were made to find alternative sources for the growing population of Melbourne. It was not until 1891 that the efforts to sewer Melbourne came to fruition with the setting up of the Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works (MMBW), now known as Melbourne Water. From 1891 until 1992, it was the responsibility of the MMBW to safeguard public health by providing a sewerage system and a safe water supply system. In 1992, The MMBW merged with a number of smaller urban water authorities to form Melbourne Water. Born on the 5th of August,1926, Margaret Gwen Hardy was the very first Commissioner of the Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works (MMBW) and was appointed in 1975, a major victory for women at the time. This was the first time in the 84 year history of the organisation. Hardy had also been a Lilydale Councillor and went on to become the first female Shire President. Along with her work commitments as part of the Board, Hardy was the wife of Dr. Bill and had three children, two sons and a daughter. Next door to her home in Mt Evelyn was her husband’s surgery, where Hardy also worked part-time as a Manager. Hardy was also involved with the Lilydale High School Mother’s Club, she was the President of the Mt. Evelyn Environment Protection and Progress Association, on the Advisory Council of Monbulk High School and was the Secretary of the Lilydale Citizens Advisory Service at the time. This staff newsletter highlights the historically significant achievement of Cr. Gwen Hardy becoming the first female commissioner to work at the Board in 84 years. This captured achievement highlights women's career advancement at the MMBW and within the Victorian public service, whilst having historic and social associations with the many women's rights movements in the 1970s.comissioner, melbourne water, mmbw, melbourne metropolitan board of works, woman, staff, newsletter

Hard cover book. The Queens Necklace Author: Alexandre Dumas Co Author: Auguste Maquet Editor: Alfred Thomas Baker Translator: Henry Llewellyn Williams Illustrator: Paul Hardy Publisher: Collins Clear Type Press Date: 1910-1920s Further Information: Black embossed patterning Cloth hardcover with lettering and patterning to spine in gilt. The spine has a Library label with an inscription.fictionThe novel is loosely based on the Affair of the Diamond Necklace, a fraud and royal scandal at the court of Louis XVI in the 1780s. It was published in 1849–50, just after the French Revolution of 1848, and first appeared as a serial in La Presse. The story is set in 1784–85 and follows the impoverished Countess Jeanne de La Motte, a descendant of the Valois dynasty, who catches Queen Marie-Antoinette’s attention. Jeanne senses that the queen secretly wants a necklace made by the jewellers Boehmer and Bossange, and persuades Cardinal de Rohan that giving it to her would win the queen’s favour. The cardinal, believing himself the queen’s secret admirer, is drawn into the deceit. The mysterious Count Cagliostro pulls the strings behind the fraud and intrigue. The prologue is borrowed from La Harpe’s ‘Prophétie de Cazotte’, but Dumas gave it much more life. The book is a sequel to Joseph Balsamo (Memoirs of a Physician) in Dumas’s Marie Antoinette cycle.shipwrecked-coast, flagstaff-hill, flagstaff-hill-maritime-museum, warrnambool, maritime-museum, shipwreck-coast, flagstaff-hill-maritime-village, shipwrecked-artefact, 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, the queens necklace, alexandre dumas
