Review critical of two poems which appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald, following publication of reports on the fate of Kennedy's expedition. After discussing the poems, the reviewer concluded : 'A greater insult to the memory of poor Kennedy, his gallant band, and the public was never perpetrated; nor can it fail to excite a mingled feeling of regret, surprise and indignation that the leading journal of the colony should have lent its aid to publish such contemptible effusions; such despicable doggrel [sic], upon so solemn and lamentable an event.'
