During the 20th century Angus & Robertson Limited became one of Australia's most important bookselling and book-publishing firms. Originally a bookshop founded by David Angus in 1884, it began publishing in 1888 under the guidance of George Robertson.

He also wrote another four volumes and edited the remaining six volumes, the last of which was published in 1942.
