Excerpt from Bubble Reputation: A Story of Modern Life

MY brother, who for the last eleven years has identified himself with Australian Journalism, sent me in ms. From Perth the pages that follow a twelvemonth ago. He left it with me to publish or not to publish. The verdict of the first English publisher to whom I submitted the ms. Was: The scenes and setting are not those Of the conventional English novel. I agreed, but maintained that the fact was no whit to their detriment. We in England today have a growing desire to see the social life in our Colonies as it z's - nothing extenuated, nor aught set down in false glorification.

The sketches that follow enable us to see - almost feel - the very pulse Of those Of our own race and language who live and work out their destiny under sub-tropical skies, in other lands and amidst other social environments than our own. John Rayment is a faithful picture of a perverted Labour member, and Edith Grey is a true representation of thecg Editor's Preface.
