A serialisation of the international work 'The Manager's Note-Book ' begins in this issue and continues to the 15 December 1838. The 'Note-Book' consists of biographies of English eighteenth century actors. The 'Note-book' was published in several English magazines but seems not to have been published as a monograph. The editor of the Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser, George Cavenagh, may have republished the 'Note-Book' from the March to May 1838 issues of the English magazine New Monthly. Cavenagh or his reporter William Kerr may have judged that the 'Note Book', with its wealth of information and gossip on English actors, would be of interest to Australian readers. This serialisation is not separately indexed in AustLit.
