The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 85

[introduction]

Will those who use the "Notes" as a basis for lectures pardon me for suggesting that their lectures should utilise the "Facts" given in the "Notes" as pegs on which to hang "Principles." The facts can be mastered by their audience at home, after the lecture.

The caution should also be given, that the importance of the exhibits should not be judged by their attractiveness. African diamonds draw crowds; the Indian fibres are not even noticed. Yet compare not only their money value, but their importance to the working man and to the world. (See Notes.)

A Billiard Table stands out prominently in the Court of New South Wales, yet it represents but the work of one clever man in the Colony. The "Stripper" is half hidden in a side court of South Australia.
