| *d863 Hamilton, Marianne Lynn (1888-1976) of Ballarat, who became Mrs Charles Lewis, of Stoneleigh and later of Warrapingo Station, near Beaufort, Victoria |
| Firstly, a copy of 'M. LYNN HAMILTON: A DOCUMENTARY AND BIBLIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR' by Paul Depasquale (Oaklands Park, South Australia: Pioneer Books: Autumn 2005) ISBN 0 908065 40 X. No 16 of an edition limited to twenty numbered copies signed by the Author. The Bibliographical Notes to this work list an archive of materials bought from Mrs Lewis's only child, Beatrix ('Trixie'), before her sad and untimely death in France. 1. A large exercise book marked 'Notebook 1', with dates within ranging from 1897 to 1904. Filled with manuscript drafts of essays and fiction and some verse. Some of these essays won prizes in competitions, while a few were printed in magazines. There are also concert programmes, in manuscript, notes on various topics of study, and a rudimentary novel, 'At St. Ernan's', with twelve chapter headings, which seems to be a romantic fantasy of her own life; the heading for Chapter Seven is 'M. in love - to what lengths it led her'. 2. A large exercise book, denominated 'Notebook 2', which contains in longhand Marianne's 'Selected and Collected Poems', dated between March 1906 and August 1908. Pasted in throughout are cuttings of many short stories, poems and other material, mostly from the columns of 'The Ballarat Courier' newspaper. Included are two essays on golf: 'Ye Ancient and Royal Game of Golf' and 'Golf Ophthalnology' [sic], which were printed in that newspaper. 3. Another exercise book, dubbed 'Notebook 3' which, unlike the previous two, is not entirely filled. It includes cuttings of her reporting of her 1913 trip to Tasmania and New Zealand; cuttings of further short stories; a cutting of her article 'The Case of Istvan Sziber: A Pitiful Story'; and many poems in manuscript. The dates given are of the years 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1914, although one poem is described as 'written August 190 |
| 7'. Of particular interest, in view of her impending marriage in 1915, is a prose piece entitled 'An Album Leaf: The Immortality of Some Friendships'. 4. A large exercise book, called 'Notebook 4', which was used, apparently over a period of many years, as a diary (though far from substantial), as a note pad of aide-memoire, and as a scrap-book (some cuttings and cards are pasted in). There is also a water-colour painting: Marianne had a life-long interest in art, more as a collector and supporter than as a practitioner, though it is understood that some of her own paintings survive, including a self-portrait. 'Notebook 4' initially belonged to a schoolgirl relative (a niece, as it would seem) and was apparently commandeered by Marianne for her own use in her retirement years in Adelaide: much of the material in it concerns the petty matter of day-to-day life. 5. The manuscript of her prize-winning essay 'Australian Pioneers', in ink but with some emendations in pencil. 6. Four pages of 'The Ballarat Courier' of Saturday 1 November 1924, broadsheet, folded, containing at p. 14 'The Pearl of the Pacific' by M. Lynn Hamilton-Lewis, which is an article of almost four closely printed columns about New Caledonia. 7. A carbon copy of a typescript article of five pages, quarto, and titled in ink 'In France and Spain - M.L.L.' 8. A large brochure of four pages: 'Plan of Subdivision of Portion of the Stoneleigh Estate: to be offered for sale at public auction at The Golden Age Hall, Beaufort on Wednesday. November 9th, 1910 at 2 p.m. by Charles Walker and Co., Ballarat and Young Bros., Ararat' (Printed by Harston, Partridge and Co., Melbourne). Inscribed 'Stoneleigh 2nd Sale Nov. 1910' on the back. Centrespread shows a detailed map of the property to be sold and its setting as surveyed by Purchas and Cannong of Melbourne; approximately 4,790 acres to be offered; the map includes lakes, tanks, wheat crops etc. on the various sub-divisions. Prices (presumably the prices realised per acre) are entered by hand. 9. The text of 'Pageant Play in One Piece: Wayfarers on Life's Road' by M. Lynn Hamilton. Chief Music: Missionary Hymn Book. This is a brochure of four pages (no imprint). The pageant was produced in 1913. 10. Two large quarto travel brochures, each headed 'Picturesque Dutch East Indies' and published by the Official Tourist Bureau, Java. One (March 1925) is entitled 'Bandoeng, The Mountain City of Netherlands India', and is of four pages, double-column, illustrated from photographs; the other (April 1925) is 'In Java's Scenic Paradise' of six pages, double-column, and again illustrated from photographs. Neither article bears any indication of authorship, but presumably by Marianne, who was an inveterate traveller and travel writer, and perhaps at least in part illustrated from her photographs, for she was a keen and capable photographer. Trixie believed that her mother wrote such articles to defray the costs of travel. 11. A large foolscap pad to whose 158 pages have been fixed facsimile copies of dozens of cuttings, including travel writings, letters, documents, personal mementoes and and scraps of miscellaneous memorabilia such as Marianne's entry in 'World Biography'. This pad includes her article 'Thomas H. Bone: An Appreciation', written on the death of the artist. Also present are copies of her Letters to the Editor of the Adelaide 'Advertiser' newspaper, revealing the array of fictitious names and addresses Marianne felt obliged to use because of her belief that she had been black-listed; cuttings of paragraphs and articles about her; copies of poems by her, and so on. The contents of this pad include much otherwise inaccessible biographical information. 12. Another such, of 46 pages, covered with material of similar kinds to the above. 13. Photocopies of letters, slightly edited, written by Marianne to Adelaide marine biologist and poet Brian J. Brock. 14. Copies of four photographs, one in colour, of Marianne at various times and places, with her own notes copied on to their backs. 15. Marianne's Confirmation certificate (1903); an envelope and a couple of sheets of paper all with the Hamilton crest printed on them; a couple of photographs which belonged to her; etc. In generally good to very good order. |
