AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A column reporting snippets of personal information on Victorian identities, particularly writers and those involved in the newspaper business. This column includes reference to William McLellan's efforts to have his poetry published in a Melbourne newspaper. The newspaper editor was disinclined to publish McLellan's efforts, but instead offered to print 'The Dove of Ararat's' work 'on slips' for private circulation. The columnist comments: 'The wily editor scored twice that time - he kept the stuff out of the paper, and secured a contract for the jobbing department'.
