xvi, 176pp. Paper covers (rubbed and chipped at edges, corner crease). Some edge wear to pages. Reissue of the original 1912 edition. William Nicholas Willis (1858-1922) is one of the more obscure Australian writers and publishers of the first half of the twentieth century. Better known in his home country as a corrupt politician, he left Australia around 1910 for Singapore before moving onto London a year later. In addition to writing a couple of racing novels, he mounted a spirited campaign against the evils of the white slave trade producing several polemical books on the topic, of which The White Slaves of London is the most significant. This 1950s reissue is interesting not only because the original edition is very hard to find but also for its pulp fiction – style cover art, which seems wholly inconsistent with the factual content. Hard to find in any edition, this reissue is prized for its cover art. 12o 0
