In journalism, he was the first Australian to launch and run a newspaper overseas. And in law, he was the only barrister to ever defeat the mighty East India Company in an Indian courtroom. 



So why have we never heard of him? 



This long-overdue biography explores answers to this revealing question as it tracks Lang’s rise from those humble beginnings to fortune and fleeting fame.

High-Quality Cabin Filter with Carbon Pre-Filter
This filter was easy to install in a 2010 Honda Fit. I wanted a HEPA filter given my severe allergies. The honeycomb carbon side looks similar to my Winix and Air Doctor carbon filters so it felt high quality.
