Notes

  • Extract from the author's letter to the editor of the Bathurst Free Press and Mining Journal: '...I suspect when the enclosed rhyme is tried... it will be found deficient, because it is a subject (whatever pretensions there may be) that in reality nobody, or at least very few care about. Sir, Honesty is a quiet homely virtue, and every person it seems thinks it a very desirable ingredient in the character of his servants, and neighbours, but is not very anxious to enquire whether it is constituent of his own compound or not'.
