Late Life
In 1929 at the age of 84, Dunn published a comprehensive work on the Geology of Gold; his book on The Bushman, based on his own experiences in South Africa, came out two years later. Dunn died on 20 April 1937. He married in 1875 Elizabeth Julie Perchard who survived him with a son and two daughters. A list of his publications can be found in In Memory of Edward John Dunn, Melbourne, 1937.

Famous quotes containing the words late and/or life:
“The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information.

—Howard Brenton (b. 1942)
“For life is the mirror of king and slave—”
—Madeline Bridges (fl. C. 1840)
