E. M. Davies, with best wishes from the Author, J. H. M. Abbott, August, 1908'; pp xiv, 296, 40 (publisher's catalogue, July 1907); although the condition of the book could only be rated as poor, loosely inserted is an interesting 4-page holograph letter (in fine condition) signed in full by Abbott to Major Davies at Pentonville, commenting in detail about his book, England, and prisons: 'it was a strange experience for me', writes Abbott about his observations of confinement, suggesting the benefits of 'soldiering in comparison', and asking Davies whether he should approach the Home Office in order to gain access to other such institutions. 'J. H. M. Abbott(1874 ? 1953) was anAustraliannovelist and poet who was born in Haydonton,Murrurundi,New South Walesin 1874.He was the eldest son of son of (Sir)Joseph Palmer Abbottand his first wife Matilda Elizabeth, née Macartney. He was educated atThe King's School, Parramattaand then attended classes at theUniversity of Sydneybefore returning to the family property to work as a jackaroo. He published his first verse inThe Bulletinin 1897.In January 1900 he left Australia for theBoer Warwhere he served as a corporal in the1st Australian Horse, and later as a second lieutenant in theRoyal Field Artillery, but was invalided back to Australia in October 1900. He utilised his experiences in the war to writeTommy Cornstalk(1902), the success of which convinced him to move to London to work as a journalist. He returned to Australia in 1909 and worked for the next 40 years as a writer of novels, poetry and prose pieces for various newspapers and periodicals.'.
