St Julian was, during the middle decades of last century, a Sydney burgher and middle-class Catholic gentleman of unsullied - if generally impecunious- respectability. His was a useful and moderately influential life as journalist and sometimes newspaper proprietor.

His biography illuminates many aspects of nineteenth-century urban Australia-sectarianism, political education, local government and the role of newspapers.
