Beschreibung

"If man is to persist in Australia it can only be if we guard our soil. If nationals do not do this it easily may be that in 160 years from to-day the population of their countries and ours will be as they were 160 years ago, due to the inaccessible remoteness of metals; then their secondary industries will have so dwindled that man will live again on the fruits of the impoverished soil, in smaller numbers than there were in the ages past." --- F. 03878 --- Original dark blue cloth boards, lettered gilt on spine (19 cm height). Foxing to edges (mainly on top edge). Inside clean and sound. Printed dustwrapper, price-clipped, trifle worn top spine paper, one tear top corner closed. Now protected.
