Australian Lyrics &c. 8vo, original cloth backed printed wrappers (soiled), pp. 68. Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide: George Robertson, 1883.
First Edition of Sladen's second book. Two poems are concerned with the death of Longfellow. Sladen (1856-1933) was a celebrated and prolific writer of poetry, fiction and biographies. With tipped-in between pp. viii & [9] is an errata, and a bifolium prospectus with two printed pages of ads for one of the author's books. Also tipped-in are several contemporary reviews of the book, presumably by Julia Winstanley whose ownership signature is on title, and who was possibly related to the Australian novelist Elizabeth Winstanley. In morocco backed cloth folding case. Miller, Australian Literature 1810-1938 I, p. 258. NCBEL III, p. 648. A bit grubby with dusty wrappers and light occasional foxing. There are no copies listed online at this writing (3/2/21), and the last copy of the first edition to appear at auction was in 1911.
