AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Q. begins his column with the bold assertion: 'I am not a Fenian' before going on to 'say a few words regarding Fenians' in general (written in the light of Irishman Henry James O'Farrell's assassination attempt on H. R. H. Prince Alfred, the Duke of Edinburgh).
In the latter part of the column, Q. reflects on his 'recent accession to the ranks of authorship'. He is probably referring to the publication of his serialised novel Long Odds: A Novel, the first instalment of which appeared in the March 1868 issue of the Colonial Monthly.
