Excerpt from The History of Perth: From the Earliest Period to the Present Time
One word in reference to a work entitled A New History of Perth, and announced nearly twelve months ago as preparing for pub lication. In two of the local newspapers it has been stated, that the work now submitted to the public would be an imitation of the one I refer to. Now, in perusing the prospectus issued by the projectors of that publication, it will be found that their New History of Perth is, in its principal features, to be a reprint of the Muses Threnodie, with a digest of Mr Cant’s notes and one thing is obvious that The History of Perth compiled by me is altogether on a difl’erent plan from that. It yet remains to be seen which history is the imitation.
