MRS E M KING: SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HER PUBLICATIONS
BOOKS AND PAMPHLETS
Truth. Love. Joy. or The Garden of Eden and its Fruits, Melbourne, 1864, (i-xi, 1-416) published in Melbourne by the author, printed by Clarson, Shallard & Co. Two versions were printed, differentiated only by their title pages, one for sale in Australia and one for sale in England and Scotland. Copies are available from many sources for download on the internet. Most have corrupted text and, as a consequence of the machinations of some electronic gremlin with a phonetic fixation, many wrongly attribute the book to a fictive ‘Emma’ King.
Rational Dress, or, the Dress of Women and Savages (London, Kegan Paul, Trench & Co, 1882)
The Exhibition of the Rational Dress Association, (London, Wyman 1883). Reprinted in Catalogue of Exhibits and Gazette, The Rational Dress Association, (New York, Garland Publishing 1978).

Ian Leader Elliott (c) December 2013
Dr Ian Leader Elliott studied law at Melbourne University before undertaking postgraduate study at Chicago Law School as a Fulbright Fellow in 1967-8. He returned to Australia to teach at Melbourne Law School and subsequently at the University of Adelaide School of Law, where he is an Emeritus Fellow. He has published extensively on criminal law and criminal law reform. He was a Commonwealth consultant on the Model Criminal Code n 1992-2002 and a consultant on various other federal, state and UK law reform projects. In retirement, his research interests are more eclectic; the life and opinions of Mrs EM King and, in an unlikely pairing, Thomas Macaulay’s Indian Penal Code (1837), currently provide both delight and stimulation.
