Notes

  • 'This Volume consists of a Selection from the Poems in a previous Book of Verses entitled 'Neath Austral Skies, together with about twenty-five pieces now first published in book form.' (Note opposite title page)
  • This book has been produced by modifying the text of 'Neath Austral Skies. The bulk of the volume is identical to 'Neath Austral Skies with identical pagination, but at a few points different poems have replaced some of the poems from 'Neath Austral Skies. The volume also closes with several different poems.
