Humbug, single work column

A brief column admonishing Dr Lang [John Dunmore Lang] for publishing a favourable review of his own work, The History of New South Wales, in his own newspaper the Sydney Colonist. 'Surely', writes the Cornwall Chronicle, 'the Doctor could have found some disinterested party to have blown his trumpet for him?'

(p. 34)
Apology, single work column

A short paragraph in the form of an apology for the 'absence of ... [a] Supplement to this Number [3 March 1838], and ... [the] usual variety of information.' Business in Launceston had ceased due to the Launceston Races, held 28 February and 2 March 1838. The Chronicle had 'no alternative but to submit to the inconvenience of losing for the time the services of our operatives.'

The writer asks subscribers to receive the issue as 'the best production it is in our power to give' and ends by submitting 'the propriety of fixing upon a Race Course some two or three miles out of town before the next season.'
