G'day Charley,

The "standard verse ... collections" I mentioned included the magnificent 3-volume Collected Verse of Henry Lawson by Colin Roderick ... every single item of verse ... all the dates ... notes on the various versions, commentaries - the odd argument, &c. Roderick is the foremost individual chronicler of Lawson and has done a great lot of research. (I should probably seek out a copy of The Real Henry Lawson ... nobody said the internet actually saved you money!)

Regards,

Bob Bolton
