The outer archives are busy

by J. M. Bennett, R. C. Solomon, Stefan Petrow

About this book

Admitted to the Tasmanian Bar, F. V. Smith was an immediate success professionally and politically, being fourth Premier (post Responsible Government); Supreme Court Judge 1860-1870; and Chief Justice 1870-1885. His adventures along the way make for absorbing reading while again revealing important ingredients in the "health of a democratic society". This book celebrates the bicentenary of Smith's birth.
