Notes
-
- COPAC Academic & National Library Catalogue attributes to Richardson The Greater Waterloo: A Love Story (1905). However, this novel is probably by an American writer with the same name.

Robert Richardson's poem 'Annette' (published in Willow and Wattle) was the source of lines carved by Mark Twain (with some judicious alterations) on his wife Olivia's tombstone: as such, they have sometimes been identified as by Twain.
