Notes by Buggins, Buggins , single work prose

Buggins reflects on the change of government in New South Wales before turning his attention to the 'considerable amount of "talk" in literary circles, about the discovery of a new poem, by John Milton.'

Buggins then comments on recent offerings in Sydney theatres: the Prince of Wales Opera House has had a production of John Palgrave Simpson's Stewart Routh; or, Woman's Devotion (aka Black Sheep). In his detailed notes on the production, Buggins concludes: 'I don't remember having seen, even in London, a drama better rendered – particularly as regards the characters sustained by Miss Rosa Cooper and Mr. Hoskins'.
