Prentout, Henri, L'Ile de France sous Decaen, Paris. 1901. Very important.

Victorian Geographical Journal, Volume XXVII. (1910 and 1911) prints a biographical sketch of Flinders from a manuscript 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 It is printed with an Introduction (by G. Gordon McCrae) wherein it is stated to be "hitherto unpublished."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 manuscript sketch mentioned above.

Walckenaer, C. A., biography of Flinders in the Biographie Universelle, Volume 14; excellent.

Walker, J. Backhouse, Early Tasmania, Hobart, 1902. Gives an admirable account of Flinders' explorations in Tasmania.
