Dr Edward Swarbreck Hall

de Carey J. Denholm, Stefan Petrow

"Dr Edward Swarbreck Hall was a thorn in the side of the Establishment of Van Diemens Land. For nearly 50 years after his arrival in 1833 he clashed with doctors, administrators, politicians & the clergy. As a doctor he protected the inmates of the convict system, the Cascades Female Factory & Queens Orphan Asylum from oppression & mistreatment"--Back cover.
