Kingsley's revisions to the first edition did 'not amount to a thorough or extensive re-thinking of the novel' but were 'confined to adding footnotes and other light, often deft, touches to the wording here and there.' ('Introduction', Recollections of Geoffry Hamlyn, Australian Academy Editions, 1997, p.li).
Also issued in 1893 as a 'Special Australian edition' with an Australian crest surmounting a scroll entitled 'Advance Australia Fair' and floral decorations on the beginning and end pages. (Special Australian edition - Advance Australia"--Back cover)
