Description
David Syme: The Father of Protection in Australia (1908) is a historical biography written by Ambrose Pratt that explores the life and work of David Syme, a prominent figure in Australian politics and journalism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Syme was the owner and editor of The Age newspaper, which he used as a platform to advocate for protectionist economic policies that would benefit Australian industries and workers. The book traces Syme's early life in Scotland, his immigration to Australia, and his rise to prominence as a journalist and political commentator. It also delves into his personal life, including his relationships with his family and his involvement in various social and cultural organizations. Pratt's writing provides a detailed and nuanced portrait of Syme, highlighting his strengths as a leader and his contributions to Australian society, while also acknowledging his flaws and shortcomings. The book also offers insights into the broader political and social context of Australia during this period, including the debates around free trade versus protectionism and the tensions between different regions and classes within the country. Overall, David Syme: The Father of Protection in Australia (1908) is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in Australian history, politics, and journalism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
