Paul Nooncree Hasluck was an Australian writer and editor. He was born in April 1854 and died on 7 May 1931.[1] He wrote about technical subjects and was a pioneer in the "do-it-yourself" category.

Family

Hasluck married in 1883 Florence née Sparrow, who died in 1916. By her he had two sons. At some point prior to the publication in 1881 of Lathe-work: A Practical Treatise on the Tools, Appliances, and Processes Employed in the Art of Turning[2] he moved to England, where at the time of his death, he maintained two residences: at 97 Loughborough Park, Brixton, and at Coopers Hill, Herne Bay.[1]
