Notes

  • Dedication: To the Hon. W. J. Clarke, M.L.C., President of the International Exhibition, this poem is respectfully dedicated, in appreciation of his many and varied endeavours to be a blessing to mankind.
  • Epigraph: With God connected, how sublime he grows!/ And in a moment, what source may be/ Of influence, when the head that thought, is dust,/ Or hand that laboured, in the tomb lies cold!-/ Our moral centre is a point minute/ But our circumference, oh, who can grasp? - Robert Montgomerey.
  • A poem in seven parts.
  • Written to commemorate the International Exhibition 1880-1881 Melbourne, Victoria.
