Latham, Sir John Greig (1877 - 1964) Biographical Entry - Australian Dictionary of Biography Online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) Latham's reputation for bias towards employers in administration of the law was not wholly justified, at least not in the conspiratorial terms in which it was usually propounded. Latham was closely involved in the unsuccessful negotiations for a coalition of the U.A.P. and the Country Party, and he served in the U.A.P. ministry from 6 January 1932 as attorney-general and minister for external affairs and for industry. Latham's elder son RICHARD THOMAS EDWIN (1909-1943) was educated at Scotch College and the University of Melbourne (B.A., 1930), was president of the Students' Representative Council in 1929 and Victorian Rhodes scholar for 1931. www.adb.online.anu.edu.au /biogs/A100002b.htm   (3770 words)

Hordern House web catalogue John Christian's library, which included about 550 volumes, is seen to have been dominated by works in the category of 'History, Lives, Novels etc.', with as yet few books on agriculture, in which Christian/Curwen, later founder of the Agricultural Society, was later to take such an interest. The catalogue is accompanied by a single leaf titled on the verso "Mr John Christian's Account from February to August 1772 ", receipted at the foot by Humphry Christian, and an original photographic reproduction of the Christian family memorial plaque erected at Milntown in 1922, setting out the family lineage from 1380 to 1904. Latham was certainly the right man at the right place and time to monopolise the description and depiction of the newly-discovered Australian species. www.hordern.com /webcatalogues/HawaiiTahiti.htm   (10257 words)

They Said It (Daily Political Quotes) - February 2002 And John Howard, when he can tear his mind away from the democratic struggles of the people of Zimbabwe and returns to focus on the needs and future of the people of Australia, might care to declare an end to the merry-go-round of circus issues which have consumed his government since the last election. When John Gorton turned 90 last September and a bipartisan group of his old colleagues organised a celebration dinner at the Westin Hotel in the old Sydney GPO, what impressed most was not just that Gorton, after a life crammed with everything, was somehow still perpendicular. John Howard's third successive victory, secured with a 2 per cent swing to the government, was certainly remarkable but it has been overhyped. www.australianpolitics.com /words/daily/2002-03.shtml   (11793 words)

An Essay on Historical Writing on Domestic Communism Earl Latham found Bentley’s story credible, but he was the last of the "Communism in American Life" authors; and in 1966 he noted the consensus view that Bentley’s charges were the "imaginings of a neurotic spinster."[45] The absence of any detailed scholar investigation of the Bentley affair allowed this consensus to continue until the mid-1990s. Jurist [White] has no suitable apartment for a permanent meeting place; all his friends are family people. "John Brown’s Body" is poetry, not history, but it is poetry informed by a man who steeped himself in the scholarship of that conflict. www.johnearlhaynes.org /page67.html   (12651 words)

John Salmond, for example, who was professor from 1897-1905, and his immediate successors, Jethro Brown and Coleman Phillipson, were scholars of international repute. For example, as the former Chief Justice of Australia, Sir John Latham, once affirmed, basic technical training in the law does not suffice to prepare lawyers for their service to the community. www.law.adelaide.edu.au /about/history.html   (1535 words)
