Centaurs". 1888.
Gordon was elected M.P. for the Victoria district of South Aus-
tralia, March 6, 1865. Howlett-Ross reprints his speech to
the electors at Mount Gambier, Jan. 18, 1865 (pp. 180-189);
his first speech in Parliament, May 31, 1865 (pp. 189-191); and

(pp. 202-203); Oct. 3 (pp. 203-204); Nov. 3 (pp. 204-207); this
speech also being printed in the Robb's Oxford edition (pp. 355-
356) ; which devotes an appendix to Gordon as a member of
Parliament (pp. 355-360). Howlett-Ross also quotes from
speeches of Feb. 1, 1866 (p. 208), and Feb. 9 (pp. 209-212).
" Potter's Clay." [Letter from Sir Evelyn Wood.] Times,
Jan. 8, 1915.
Sir Evelyn suggested that " the Press should publish the first
verse " as an inducement to recruiting. A Times advertise-
ment, Jan. 25, 1915, quoted two lines by Gordon in memory of
" Chinese " Gordon.
[Prose Sketches.] In Howlett-Ross's " Laureate of the
Centaurs". 1888.
Reprints of " Bush sketches " (pp. 109-130), which Gordon sent to
the Australasian two days before his death : " Racing ethics "
(pp. 131-153); "The Ring and the look," a brief perversion of
Browning, whom Gordon admired (pp. 154-163); "The Arab
horse" (pp. 164-175).
Racing rhymes and other verses. By Adam Lindsay
Gordon. Selected and arranged by T. O. Guen.
New York: R. H. Russell, 1901.
8vo. pp. 146 including frontispiece (Libr. Congr.).
Sea spray and smoke drift. By the author of "Ash-
taroth". Melbourne: George Robertson, 1867.
8vo. pp. [iv] + 171 + [1]. Contains 23 poems. Sutherland says
that Gordon was responsible for the cost of this volume —
about £50 for 500 copies. Less than a hundred were sold, and,
with the exception of " Bell's Life," none of the Australian jour-
nals took any notice of the volume, except that in one or two
cases a contemptuous paragraph appeared. It was reviewed
appreciately in Baily's Magazine, March, 1870, by H. A. Leve-
son, "the old Shekarry".
A new edition was published in July, 1909, by Lothian, Melbourne :
8vo. pp. 160 ("The Australian Catalogue ").
