Notes

  • Editor's note: We have received from an unknown correspondent, a series of sketches, somewhat after the style of Random Recollections of the House of Commons, the locality being shifted to New South Wales, and the Members of our Legislative Council forming the material for the Sketches. We published these, because of their merit in a literary point of view, disclaiming all connexion with their political tone and satirical tendency, and we beg of the reader constantly to bear in mind, that in these papers, he is perusing the opinions of Asmodeus, and not those of the conductors of this journal.'
  • Epigraph: I do see the bottom of Justice Shallow. - Henry IV.
