6 PREFACE. 



proprietors of the Melbourne Argus liberally gave the use of the views and 

 pictures of their illustrated paper, the Australian Sketcher, and the offer was 

 gratefully and largely taken advantage of. Mr. R. Wallen, a President of the 

 Art Union of Victoria, gave permission for the reproduction of any of the 

 works of art published by the society during his term of office. Australia is 

 a large place, and it will be seen that, where the author could not refresh 

 his memory by a personal visit, he has here and there availed himself of the 

 willing aid of literary friends.
