Notes

  • Dedication: To Clem Gray, junr. ('Daybreak') and H.W. Stewart, young Tasmanian poets, whose harmonious productions, full of sweet optimism, have in both instances been composed and attuned under the constant handicap of severe physical disabilities. The music of their rhymes has comforted thousands of their fellow Australians, and the very force of the brave example set by them has greatly encouraged the writer to attempt the compilation of this splendid work.
  • Appendix: Tasmanian Aboriginal Language - 'The subjoined are from translations attempted, of the Oyster Bay tribe dialect in 1821, by Mr. Jas. Scott'
