A CRITICAL BIOGRAPHY OF EDWIN JAMES BRADY - Mallacoota ...

v Political and philosophical.
199
The Red Objective, an incomplete manuscript planned to have some thirty
chapters, undated, but worked on over many years. In National Library.
This book was planned as a major undertaking by Brady. It was to set out the
complete history of the Labor Party in Australia, especially in New South
Wales, from its inception. Much work was done on it, and individual
chapters, sometimes in three drafts, appear in his papers.
A Religion of Humanity, written from 1929 to 1932, sets out Brady’s religious
and philosophical credo, almost totally socialistic. It is dedicated to Hugh
Brady, first Protestant Bishop of Meath, and has an Introduction. 209 pp, in
National Library.

A list among Brady’s papers contains the names of 28 “short stories” and 38
“humorous stories” (Ms 206, Box 31). Some of these cannot be traced; a few
