The name "slouch hat" refers to the fact that one side droops down as opposed to the other which is pinned against the side of the crown. This style of hat has been worn for many hundreds of years, especially during the English Civil War during the 17th century when it became associated with Royalists known as Cavaliers and became known as the Cavalier hat, but it was also fashionable for the upper and middle classes throughout Europe during that time until it developed into the tricorne and bicorne. It was introduced into Australia around 1885, although it traces its military use back to Austrian skirmishers. The modern slouch hat is derived from the black "Corsican hat" (Korsehut) – historically used in the Austrian army during the Napoleonic Wars. The headwear saw primary use by 15 battalions of Austrian Jägers (skirmishers) and it featured an upturned brim, leather chinstrap and feather plume. The regular infantry also saw limited use of the Corsican hat in the periods 1803–06 and 1811–36.

Bohn beginning in 1848, as part of his well-known "Bohn's Standard Library" series of affordable classics. Volume 3 is the volume centred on Milton's ecclesiastical, educational, and domestic-life tracts, quite distinct from Volume 1 and its regicide/republic defences and Volume 2's church-government and press-freedom writings. The contents include The Likeliest Means to Remove Hirelings out of the Church; Animadversions upon the Remonstrants' Defence against Smectymnuus; and Apology for Smectymnuus, Milton's final anti-prelatical tract (1642), defending the Puritan pamphleteers writing under the collective pen-name "Smectymnuus" against Bishop Joseph Hall, and defending his own personal integrity as a polemicist. Also included is The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce, Milton's controversial 1643 tract arguing, on scriptural grounds, for the lawfulness of divorce on grounds of incompatibility, written not long after his own troubled first marriage. There are further divorce tracts within this volume, as it continues the argument of the Doctrine and Discipline. The volume also includes a Tractate on Education, Milton's short treatise on his ideas for educational reform, and A Declaration for the Election of John III, King of Poland. Therefore, Volume 3 collects Milton's writings on church reform, personal and religious controversy, divorce law, and education — the more personal and doctrinal side of his prose output, as opposed to the state-political defences in Volumeshipwrecked-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 prose works of john milton vol 1, john milton

This book was produced in a period of time when Australians, especially those in rural areas referred to Britain as "the mother" country. It was a time when the transition from a colonial dominion of Britain to the status of an individual State through the Australian Constitution was quite apparent, except for the affection and respect of the majority of the population towards "their" Queen. It was a time when the Governor General (Queen's representative) were British born and picked. Australia had grown from a colonial status to an individual state. The feeling towards the monarchy is aptly demonstrated by the words from the High Commissioner for Australia, Sir Thomas White K.B.E., proposal for Australia to adopt the royal title "Elizabeth the Second by the grace of God of the United Kingdom, Australia and her realms and territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, defender of the Faith" Here faith implies the christian (Church of England) religion. In rural Australia the respect and admiration for the Queen was very high and all public offices, clubs and halls displayed a well positioned, large photograph of the Queen. The respect for British royalty was quite pronounced by the royal toast, offered before "official" proceedings commenced, and in the military flying the royal "blessed" colours.This book was donated by one of the founding families residing in the Kiewa Valley and is typical of the general feeling of respect and admiration felt by the rural communities towards the British Royal Family, especially towards Queen Elizabeth II. The rural slant towards any form of patriotism was along the lines of "Queen and Country", in that order. After World War II the social texture through multi-culturalism (especially in the Cities)moved away from this "motherland" bondage but it had taken a longer period to penetrate those rural sectors within the Kiewa valley and high plains areas. The great post World War II immigration of European refugees started a shift of numbers of Australian families whose parents were not born in Australia or had British family ties. The book represents a period in time where ties to Britain where a lot strong and entrenched in the social fabric of the Australian rural sector. The growing push for a republic is becoming stronger and stronger as the level of rural royalists deminishes.This item is a hard covered book of 200 pages including 8 pages in full colour and over 250 photographs covering the British royal family and in particular Queen Elizabeth II and her coronation. The external protective paper dust-jacket is in colour. Specific references to Australia appear on pages 9,36 to 41 and 97.
