Some Australian Christmas Books, single work review
— Review of Boodgery Yabber Boodgery Gaws , 1884 single work prose ;
'They are not bright - they are not merry; only one can profess to furnish any original wit, while the majority seem like efforts to trade off juvenile or amateur work at a time when anything will "go down"... The Sydney Christmas Annual... contains a great many stories whose merit is not conspicuous... The Sydney Punch Almanac is perhaps the only book really redolent of and welcome to the season...'
