MY acknowledgements of the courtesy of the editors and proprietors of the newspapers in which most
of these verses were first published are due and are gratefully discharged on the eve of my departure
for England. Chief among them is the Sydney Bulletin; others are the Sydney Town and Country
Journal, Freeman’s Journal and Truth, and the New Zealand Mail.
A few new pieces are included in the collection.
