Works about this Work

To the Editor of the Sydney Monitor Humanitas (fl. 1834) , 1834 single work correspondence
— Appears in: The Sydney Monitor , 15 April vol. 8 no. 681 1834; (p. 2)

'Humanitas' responds to a letter, published in the Sydney Monitor on 11 April, in which E. S. Hall names William Watt and Edward O'Shaughnessy as 'the authors of all personalities' published in the Sydney Gazette 'whether you write editorially or under anonymous signatures'.

Humanitas writes: 'Perceiving in your journal of this date [11 April 1834], that you charge two individuals, by name, as well as by terming them the joint-editor of the Sydney Gazette, as the authors of a certain pamphlet about to be published; I have to acquaint you, that the assertion is decidedly untrue, and I call upon you publicly, to declare by what authority you have been induced to make so unfounded a statement.' Humanitas dissociates himself from Watt and O'Shaughnessy (without actually naming them).
