Notes

  • Author's note: Many of the pieces in this little issue have been placed before the public through the courtesy of the Hobart Town Press, principally in the columns of the late 'Daily Courier.'... - Preface
  • Epigraph: [From a Rhapsody on Poetry by Dean Swift] In bulk there are not more degrees/ From Elephants to Mites in cheese,/ Than what a curious eye may trace/ In creatures of the rhyming race;/ From bad to worse, and worse they fall,/ But who can reach the worst of all?/ For though in Nature, depth and height/ Are equally held infinite :/ In poetry, the height we know,/ 'Tis only infinite below.'
