Australian Tales, and Sketches from Real: Life (Classic Reprint)

Sydney Mail and I have good reason to believe that they have been favourably received by thousands of subscribers to that influential newspaper. In publishing them, in a volume, I am yielding to the persuasion of many kind friends, who have expressed their belief that they will be well received, and be useful. I have spent much time in altering and improving all the articles ;and they will be fresh to my old readers. The fact of the articles having appeared in the columns of the Sydney Mail, will be a sufficient guarantee to parents, that they need not scruple to place the volume in the hands of their children. I will only add, that there is nothing controversial or sectarian in it; and I have used my utmost efibrts to make it both amusing and instructive. English readers will find many phases of Australian life depicted; for which I claim this merit, that their accuracy may be relied on.
