Excerpt from On and Off the Turf in Australia
An unpretending book. Writers on Australia. First impressions. The sort of men wanted. Prospects. Living.
Before settling down into my stride, and writing an account of more than ten years On and Off the Tarf in Australia, it will be better, by way of introduction, to take a preliminary canter.
This is an unpretending book, and I hope will be accepted as such by critics and readers alike. The frequent use of the personal pronoun is not egotism, but merely a matter of convenience. Many books have been written about Australia and the Australians. Some of these works show that the authors have endeavoured to find the bad, not the good, in both country and people.
