Notes

  • The editorial for this issue records that the Rhoda arrived at Launceston on [6 March 1838] 'direct from London on the 4th November [1837], the Land's end the 12th [November].' The ship had a copy of the London Times newspaper of 4th November 1837. The Times was 'barren of information of interest to the Colonists. Parliament had not met. Queen Victoria intended to dine with the city authorites at the Guildhall, on the 9th Nov[ember].'
