George Lewis (Louis) Becke : By Reef and Palm
'I am sorry to miss making the acquaintance of Mr Becke. Strangely enough I have been, only the other day, reading again his "Reef and Palm". Apart from the great interest of the stories what I admire most is his perfect unselfishness in the telling of them.[...] I haven't seen yet the "The First Fleet Family" and have a great curiosity.'
Century: 1850-1899 Reader/Listener/Group: Joseph Conrad Print: Book
George Lewis (Louis) Becke (and Walter Jeffrey) : A First Fleet Family
' I have read "The First Fleet Family"with interest tempered by disappointment.' Thereafter follow two pages of largely negative criticism.
