To the Editor of the Colonist [and the Colonist's Reply], single work correspondence
The Colonist publishes an unsigned letter, on behalf of Edward O'Shaughnessy, demanding the author of the article titled 'The Literary Profession, or, The Colonial Press' be revealed. If the author is not declared, court action will be taken. The Colonist replies that it has no intention of revealing the author's name on the basis of a request through an anonymous letter. The Colonist is happy for O'Shaughnessy to take the matter to court and resolve the perceived injustice through that avenue.

Sydney Cove A Fulfilled Prophecy Visit of Hope to Sydney Cove Visit of Hope to Sydney Cove Near Botany Bayi"Where Sydney Cove, her lucid bosom swells,", Erasmus Darwin , single work poetry (p. 118)
Note: Editor's note, at head of poem: 'The following spirited lines, by the author of the Botanic Garden, are prefixed to the interesting account of Governor Philip's Voyage to New South Wales, and of the Original Establishment of this Colony, published in quarto by the famous bookseller Stockdale, London, 1790, a copy of which is to be found in the Library of the Australian College, Sydney. The prophecy has been most remarkably fulfilled, almost in every particular, and doubtless much sooner than the writer could have anticipated. It cannot fail to be generally interesting to our readers.'
