SELLING FRENCH BOOKS IN
MELBOURNE DURING THE
FIRST WORLD WAR
WALLACE KIRSOP
The document that occupies the twelve pages following this brief
introduction was acquired by the author several years ago through the
good offices of John Holroyd, that ever-generous helper of all who
take an interest in the history of books in Australia. No other copy has
yet been unearthed, but for reasons that are set out below it would be
imprudent to suppose that this item is unique. Although the informed
reader will have no difficulty in assessing what is revealed about the
sorts of French books available to Melbourne buyers during the First
World War, a minimal effort must be made to situate the list in its
context.
The National Library of Australia's Australian National
Bibliography 1901-1950 states "Ephemeral material such as sales
catalogues, price lists, broadsides and programs are excluded unless
considered to be of particular interest or importance."1 The exceptions
are, as always, both numerous and welcome. However, the Melville &
Mullen list is missing, as is much else that is essential to a history of
bookselling and publishing in this country. A first desideratum is a
comprehensive

productions,
Polya's
invaluable
Nineteenth Century Plant Nursery Catalogues of South-East Australia:
a Bibliography.2 Since they are often not properly recorded in library
holdings, it is important to search high and low for lists that are
hidden in entries like "Pamphlets, various" and "Volume of
catalogues". Experience of happy finds encourages optimism about the
discovery of unsuspected caches in private and public collections.
The manuscript dating on the first page is plausible. In the
absence of surviving archives for a firm that was merged with George
Robertson and Company in the early 1920s to form Robertson and
Mullens Limited, the only chance of greater precision lies in careful
scanning of the book advertisement columns of The Argus for the war
years. Even so it is not certain that this offering to a specialized
audience will have been given prominence.

WALLACE KIRSOP
How exclusive a public was it that sought books in French or
on France? Less so, one suspects, than is the case three quarters of a
century later. Manifestly the reference on page 12 to F. I. Maurice-
Carton's pedagogical journal Le Frangais en Australie3 indicates
awareness of a then extensive secondary school market. Similarly, the
dictionaries, phrase books and Bibles on pages 10 and 11 must have
been destined in part for troops going to the Western Front. Otherwise
one finds the mixture of classics and near-contemporary writers
characteristic of the popular series produced early in this century. The
failure of a writer like Stendhal to appear says more about the timidity
of French publishers than about Australian taste. More interesting are
the second-hand books on pages 7 to 9. One wonders who
imported—and at what period—the broken set of Naigeon's edition of
Diderot. Behind the frequent mutilations of French spellings lie the
icons of that hegemonic French culture—classical, enlightened,
Romantic and even realist—that affected the Australian elite no less
than similar groups in the Northern Hemisphere. When the history of
French-Australian relations between 1914 and
written, this dimension must be present.
