Excerpt from Bibliography of South Australia In the Appendix an attempt has been made to furnish a list of all colonial newspapers which have appeared at various times, but it is found impossible to complete the list in detail. As will be observed by a perusal of that division, many newspapers had but an ephemeral existence, and consequently no files of some are known to exist. To Messrs. G. Gerrard Shaw, H. Hampson, and S. E. Roberts I am indebted for much information on this subject. It is to be regretted that some legislation was not passed in the early days of the colony, enforcing the lodgment in the South Australian Institute of a copy of every colonial publication - work, pamphlet, or newspaper. Owing to the absence of a compulsory law on this subject, we have now to deplore the loss of most valuable information concerning the early detailed history of the colony, and no effort appears to have been made until recent years, by the governing powers of the South Australian Institute to collect or pre serve colonial publications. But much omitted herein may still exist in private bookshelves, boarded up, either through curiosity or on account of old associations. Colonists and others possessing such documents will confer a favor upon the compiler by acquainting him of such fact. The Public Library and the Library of the South Australian Geographical Society would be greatly benefited by dona tions of any documents antecedent to 1870.

Excerpt from The Geography of South Australia: Historical, Physical, Political Commercial Considerable attention has been devoted to those aspects of the subject which illustrate the evolution and consolidation of the State. Every South Australian child should know some thing of the land in which he lives - the circumstances of its foundation, the heroic work done by its explorers, the growth of its industries, and the principles of its Government. The bibliographical references at the end of chapters, or scattered through the text, whilst limited in extent, may be found of service in guiding to further information.

Excerpt from Australasian Shakespeareana: A Bibliography of Books, Pamphlets, Magazine Articles, &C., That Have Been Printed in Australia and New Zealand, Dealing With Shakespeare and His Works The making of this bibliography would have been impossible if I had not the assistance of many helpers, to whom I gratefully acknowledge my thanks. I am under special obligations to Mr. Hugh Wright, Miss M. Windeyer and the other members of the staff of the Mitchell Library, Sydney, who have given valuable help in my researches at this Institution, unique in its wonderful col lection of Australians, and which contains many works not to be found else where. Mr. J. R. G. Adams, the General Secretary of the South Australian Public Library, has most kindly furnished me with useful information, and many of the Adelaide entries would not have been obtained by me, except through the help afforded by the Assistant Librarian, Mr. H. J. Keyes, who has added to my original proofs a number of items relating to the University Society. Unfortunately, I have not been able in all cases to index them under the author's name, as the greater part of the book was already in type. They are, however, included in their proper place under Proceedings or Journal. Mr. E. L. Armstrong, of the Melbourne Public Library, and his staff, likewise afforded me every assistance, both personally when inspecting the magnificent collection of that Institution, and also subsequently by replying to my enquiries. The Librarians of the Queensland and West Australian Public Libraries, Messrs. W. E. Hawkins (the President of the Shakespeare Society of Bertram Stevens and George Harris of Sydney, A. H. Turnbull of Wellington, New Zealand, and L. Phillips of Auckland, New Zealand, have also given me assistance, for which I am much indebted.

Excerpt from Canada and South Australia: A Commentary on That Part of the Earl of Durham's Report Which Relates to the Disposal of Waste Lands and Emigration; In Three Papers, Delivered at the South Australian Rooms, No; 5 Adam Street, Strand Lord Durham tells us, after a brief and mas terly introduction of his subject, developing the chief objects to be sought in the disposal of waste lands, that he was met, on his arrival in the colony, by innumerable complaints of abuse, and applications for justice or favour, (the word is pregnant with instruction, ) which had slumbered during previous years. During my residence in the Canadas, he continues, scarcely a -day passed without my receiving some petition or representation relating to the crown lands' department; and matte1s belonging to this branch of government necessarily occu pied a far larger proportion than any other of my correspondence with the Secretary of State. The noble lord then appointed a Commission of Inquiry, not without a reference to the new method pursued in the Australian colonies, the remarkable success of which, he says, gave him a hope that he should be able to recommend beneficial reforms in Canada.
