284 "MY KINGDOM FOR A HORSE!" 



St Stephen's Review, and it was amazing to me that his 

 work was not better appreciated by the public. I can 

 truly say I never dreamed of doubting its pre-eminence ; 

 and, strangely enough, this was understood in Australia 

 sooner than in London, though they had nothing but 

 exported copies of our paper to judge from. Phil May 

 was offered a three years' engagement on The Sydney 

 Bulletin at 30 a week, and he came to me to ask what he 

 had best do.
