DEDICATION.  

TO THE AUSTRALIAN PUBLIC.  

We are about to lay before you work, differing materially, both  

in form and matter, from any publication which has hitherto been  

presented to you. Persons unacquainted with your spirit have  

strenuously maintained that you were incapable of giving proper  

encouragement to an undertaking of such magnitude and importance.  

Even some of the most penetrating of your friends have declared that  

the publication of an Australian Magazine would be both useless and  

unprofitable. But we, regardless of such baseless insinuations, have  

made the attempt, trusting to your intelligence to crown our labours  

with gratifyingsuccess. firm—and we may add, patriotic—zeal  

for your welfare has actuated us in composing the following pages.  

Their purpose is to improve your understanding: if they convey  

but one ray of knowledge to your minds, we shall feel that we have  

obtained reward. It is needless for us here to say more in illus-  

tration of our object, of which perusal of the work itself will best  

enable you to form an adequate and satisfactory idea. But before  

we dismiss it into your hands, we must mention circumstance which  

will certainly entitle it to considerable portion of your indulgence,  

viz., that the most arduous part of it was written by the Sons of  

Australia.
