The distribution of Gov. Publications here takes place only through the public Library,
on approval of the hon the Premier. If therefore any of my works should be desired
by you for the Museum-Library there, it would be best to write a letter to Dr Bride,
the Librarian of the public Library of Melbourne, who doubtless would at once attend
to your wishes. I am largely purchasing my own works on my private expense, but my
means are too slender to distribute them so extensively as I would like.
