AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Q. writes that he has been 'much abused lately' following comments he made regarding 'the "Author of Orion" [R. H. Horne]'. (See also Q.'s article in the Australasian,11 April 1868, for his original comments, and a further response on 9 May 1868.) He then goes on to reflect on watching the theatre from 'the sixpenny gallery' and commends the experience to his readers (whom he suspects are mostly of the 'porcelain of humanity'). Q.'s final topic is news that a literary club is being mooted for the city of Melbourne; he hopes 'it will come to birth'.
