— Appears in: The Empire , 28 May 1858; (p. 2) In 1858 Charles Harpur was drawn into an argument with Frank Fowler, the editor of the Month : A Literary and Critical Journal. J. Normington-Rawling in Charles Harpur, An Australian (Angus & Robertson, 1962): 226 writes that 'Harpur had allowed himself to be inveigled into the position of defending as poetry the writings of Henry Parkes. In doing so he chose to see the issue as one between colonists [Harpur] and immigrants [Fowler]...' Harpur wrote a Note with an accompanying poem published in the Empire (9 March 1858) which was commented on by Fowler in the pages of the Month. Harpur continued the argument with this Note in the 28 May 1858 issue of the Empire published with a version of his poem A Rhyme. -
