Notes

  • Epigraph: The nations have fallen, and thou still art young, / Thy sun is but rising when others are set; / And tho' SLAVERY's cloud o'er thy morning has hung, / The full noon of FREEDOM shall beam round thee yet! MOORE.

      Note/s:
      • Includes a Preface, signed Harmonides, January, 1847.
      • 'By Harmonides' on title page. The Mitchell Library copy, has an annotation next to author's name : Hills, Cecil (Serle's Bibl.). The copy has a handwritten inscription: 'To Captain Weston / with the author's / very kind regards / Cecil Hills / June 17/47'. This might explain why the pseudonym 'Harmonides' has been attributed to a Cecil Hills rather than to Thomas Harpur who lived at Cecil Hills, now a suburb of Sydney.
      • Ferguson no. 4539.
