Thread Name: Van Diemen (not Van Dieman)
Subject: RE: Review: Van Diemen (not Van Dieman)
Indeed. A search on the Bodleian Library Broadside website brings up 13 hits for "Van Dieman" and none for Van Diemen.

The OP might well be correct about the spelling of the actual name of the person after whom Tasmania was originally named, but the song title is correctly spelt "Van Dieman's land"
