Showing Old Melbourne memories by Rolf Boldrewood

Excerpt from Old Melbourne Memories These reminiscences of the early days of Melbourne - a city which, as a family, we helped to found - awakened, when first published in the columns of the Australasian, an amount of general interest most gratifying to the writer. It is hoped that, in their present more convenient form, they may secure and retain the approbation of the public. I should feel bound to apologise for the mention of names in full were I not conscious that I have written no line calculated to offend; nor have I, for one moment, failed in sincere goodwill towards every comrade of that joyous time.
