Includes a brief section, 'Henry Parkes, Poet', which refers to Parkes's selected work of poetry,
Murmurs of the Stream
(1857). Discussing a recently 'unearthed' copy of this work, the column reports that an 'interesting relic...has just come to light in one of our bookshops' as the book contained marginalia identifying erroneous typesetting. The report suggests that the handwritten corrections were annotated by Parkes's himself. (content appears in the column, 'Just Before We Begin -')
