Notes

  • Anticipating the Centenary of the state of South Australia, Sadler writes: For love of Adelaide these Annals, with emendations, are now brought from the covers where they have been inurned (some of them for nearly half a century) since they appeared in the Press of the day under the pen names of 'Ab Original', 'Kuraya', and other signatures'. (Annals, p. 2)

  • Epigraph: 'They are the abstracts and brief chronicles of the time' - Hamlet (title page)

    and

    Ended are many days, and now but few
    Remain; since therefore it is happy and true
    That memoried joys keep ever their delight,
    Like steadfast stars in the blue vault of night...
    Therefore my heedy thought will oft restore
    The long light-hearted days that are no more. - Robert Bridges

  • Includes a dedicatory poem to J. T. C. (p. [iii])
