AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Buggins reflects on the change of government in New South Wales before turning his attention to the 'considerable amount of "talk" in literary circles, about the discovery of a new poem, by John Milton.'

Buggins then comments on recent offerings in Sydney theatres: the Prince of Wales Opera House has had a production of John Palgrave Simpson's Stewart Routh; or, Woman's Devotion (aka Black Sheep). In his detailed notes on the production, Buggins concludes: 'I don't remember having seen, even in London, a drama better rendered – particularly as regards the characters sustained by Miss Rosa Cooper and Mr. Hoskins'.
