Summary: | In a long and vigorous political career from the 1870s to the earliest years of the 20th century, Edward William O'Sullivan preached conceptions of social justice and advocated measures for the relief of poverty that are commonplace today. O'Sullivan was a trade unionist, political journalist and a member of Parliament. He was also one of the creators of the Protectionist Party of the 1880, through which modern political organization came to New South Wales. The book contributes to an understanding of this formative period in the history of New South Wales and Australia.--from book jacket.
