s given them such immediate popularity,
such wide vogue, among all classes of the rising native generation."
WESTMINSTER GAZETTE: "Australia has produced in Mr. A. B. Paterson
a national poet whose bush ballads are as distinctly characteristic
of the country as Burns's poetry is characteristic of Scotland."
THE SCOTSMAN: "A book like this... is worth a dozen of the aspiring,
idealistic sort, since it has a deal of rough laughter
and a dash of real tears in its composition."
GLASGOW HERALD: "These ballads... are full of such go
that the mere reading of them make the blood tingle....
But there are other things in Mr. Paterson's book besides
mere racing and chasing, and each piece bears the mark
of special local knowledge, feeling, and colour.
The poet has also a note of pathos, which is always wholesome."
LITERARY WORLD: "He gallops along with a by no means doubtful music,
shouting his vigorous songs as he rides in pursuit of wild bush horses,
constraining us to listen and applaud by dint of his manly tones
and capital subjects... We turn to Mr. Paterson's roaring muse
with instantaneous gratitude."
