Notes

  • Editor's note: 'Dr Charles Mackay has recently written the accompanying verse, which he wishes to dedicate to those Australians who have been generously helping him. The lines [...] are the offspring of his very old age, and represent the soliloquy of a scotsman who, having made his "pile" has a longing to see his dear native land, "Caledonia stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child"'.
