A copy of letter in The Age, 16 May 1868, p1 lists 27 parishioners (giving better identification of the people ie first names or initials) plus 73 others. In both the handwritten letter and the printed copy in The Age the names CURTISS and Henry Chas. CURTISS are listed. While this could be the correct spelling we have used Henry Charles CURTIS which is the much more common reference to him in newspapers.

It's a single-volume work (unlike many of his other novels, which ran to three volumes) of 12 chapters, centring on the Claythorpe family of "Applegate" station and the pastoral world of colonial New South Wales squatters, station life, courtship, and the social texture of rural Australia in the late 19th century. Chapter headings such as "Job Claythorpe, of Applegate, ploughman", "Jesse Claythorpe, crowboy", and "Jack Leighton, swagman" reflect its episodic, character-driven structure typical of Boldrewood's pastoral fiction. Boldrewood drew heavily on his own experience some 25 years as a squatter and pastoralist in Victoria and the Riverina, followed by decades as a police magistrate and goldfields warden in NSW which gives his fiction its documentary feel for colonial bush life.Hard cover book, A Sydney-Side Saxon Author: Pen Name Rolf Boldrewood For (Thomas Alexander Browne) Publisher: Macmillan And Co Date: 1891 Blue cloth hardcover and spine with spine lettering in black texter.

King John of Gunderode rules as an autocrat behind constitutional forms, with a muzzled press and police spies everywhere. His second son, Prince Elim, Duke of Othyris, is a humane, philosophical man who hates soldiering. At a military review he halts his cavalry rather than trample peasants who have strayed onto the field, and the crowd adores him for it. The King and Elim's stiff elder brother, the Crown Prince, are furious. The visiting Emperor Julius of the neighbouring 'Guthones' is a pious, vain militarist who is eyeing the kingdom's sea. He gets Elim off the hook, partly to humiliate him. A review from the time calls it a novel with a purpose, whose author's zeal sometimes tips into vituperation, and which lacks the romantic charm of Under Two Flags. In the US it was published as A Prince of Europe (Helianthus).Hard cover book.
