The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Sutherland, George
Sutherland, George, MA., brother of above, was born on Oct. 1st, 1855, at Glasgow; arrived in Australia with his parents in 1864; was educated at the Sydney Grammar School and at the Scotch College, Melbourne; proceeded to the Melbourne University, where he gained scholarships and other distinctions and graduated Master of Arts in 1879. After some experience as a teacher he joined the staff of the South Australian Register. Of late years he has turned his attention to inventions, and has taken out patents for photographic processes for making illustrations for daily newspapers, the system being now in use in various parts of Australia. An invention for cheap windmills and one for concentrating the precious metals in poor ores have been the results of his more recent inventive activity. He is author of "Tales of the Goldfields," "Australia; or, England in the South," and of a "Descriptive Geography of Australia." Another brother, William Sutherland, is a mathematician of eminence.
