1 The Public Press A Reader (fl. 1834) , 1834 single work correspondence
— Appears in: The Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser , 12 August vol. 32 no. 2478 1834; (p. 3) 'A Reader' writes unfavourably about the recent conduct of the Sydney press: 'You are all very foolish to think that the public respect you for the manner in which discussions have of late been conducted. They feel disgust and pity for all, and how can tbey do otherwise? Instead of writing with decency and temper, the transactions of a man's early life have been blazoned forth with the view of blasting for ever his hopes in this country. Part of the press has actually scandalized the emancipists as a body, and attempted to create ill feeling, in order that there might be a separation of interest and great disorder. I counsel you all to be men, and not write as blackguards.'
