Victorian Geographical Journal, Volume 28 (1910 and 1911) prints a biographical sketch of Flinders from a ma.n.u.script found in a copy of A Voyage to Terra Australis in Donington vicarage in 1903. It is printed with an Introduction (by G. Gordon McCrae) wherein it is stated to be "hitherto unpublished." But it is simply the Naval Chronicle sketch, with a few paragraphs added, and it is from the same pen as the ma.n.u.script sketch mentioned above.
