It might afford our readers some pleasure to know that this work is entirely Australian. The printers, artist, and author are all colonial-born, and the production of the former two, at any rate, will compare favourably with that of any others.
The engravings throughout have been in the hands of Mr. Murray Fraser and staff, whose experience in this special art has tended to make the book more attractive than it otherwise would have been.
The author is not above receiving any suggestions or contributions in the way of peculiar puzzles or commercial comicalities, which might enhance the value of the book. Intending contributors are invited to communicate to the address given below, and can rest assured that they will be remunerated according to the merits of their communications.
