Editorial Reviews

The editor of this volume, Ann Millar, has assembled a distinguished list of usual suspects who have contributed professional and well-researched biographies of the individual senators. it is an important contribution to the history of the centenary of Federation, throwing some light on a group of men often more distinguished in their lives outside politics than as politicians.” —The Age

“A valuable contribution to the history of federation...It succeeds as an institutional history and an anthology and as an excellent reference booke, lending itself to pleasant browsing rather than a straight reading.” —The Canberra Times
