Synopsis
Excerpt from Three Diggers a Tale of the Australian Fifties
When I committed my first infant to the care of its literary nurses, my parental anxiety was assuaged and I reassured by the kind words of critics, amateur and professional. Him: z'l/w lac/zrymae which being translated, means If this the younger brother, which I now trust, Moses-like, upon the broad stream of public Opinion, should find equal favour, not I alone, but they who thus encouraged and approved the first step must be congratulated.
