The Argus notes the publication of T. P. Hill's Oratorical Trainer, a copy of which was presented to H. R. H. Prince Alfred, the Duke of Edinburgh during the latter's visit to Melbourne in late 1867. The prince's equerry, Eliot Yorke, responded on behalf of the prince and the Argus reproduces Yorke's words, which read in part: 'The book is an excellent one, and worthy of so necessary an object as that of exciting a love of English literature, and teaching youth the proper pronounciation [sic] of their own tongue; the latter I fear is much neglected in this colony.'
