1 The Story-Teller - A Type of Human Life George Farquhar , 1879 single work prose
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , April vol. 14 no. 167 1879; (p. 413) On the types of story-tellers - boring and entrancing; including a brief account of a particularly tedious example. [Includes passing reference to Chinaman as victims akin to lamp-posts for such boors.] (PB)
1 Willie Steel - A Sketch from Real Life George Farquhar , 1879 single work short story humour
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , July vol. 14 no. 170 1879; (p. 553-554) A Scottish postman in a New Zealand town is rescued from a snow storm and believes he has been given the gift of song. A church elder, he is persuaded by three young wits to prod awake members of the congregation - and a colourful scene results. Rough humour; thin. (PB)
1 Love's Trial and Triumph George Farquhar , 1878 single work short story
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , December vol. 14 no. 163 1878; (p. 189-191) Australian tale of farming family tyrannised by a harsh father but his son's departure, his wife's illness and his daugher's unhappiness at his refusal to allow her to marry combine to change his heart. Unconvincingly neat. (PB)
1 Mr Pumpkin's Nephew George Farquhar , 1878 single work short story
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , May vol. 13 no. 156 1878; (p. 456-457) Crude comedy of the disruptions to an up-country hotel caused by a sesquipedologist, his somnambulistic nephew, a nervous new chum, and a drunken Irishman. All is smoothed by a friendly drink. (PB).
