Notes

Dedication: For Celia
Author's Preface: ...I cannot help feeling, however, that the passion for self-denigration, so noticeable among young Australian intellectuals in recent years, has now gone too far. They are so busy denouncing the things they do not like about Australia that they are inclined to deny that Australia has any virtues at all....In writing this new collection of essays, therefore, I have concentrated on those things in Australia which have given me pleasure. (pp. ix-x)
