Excerpt from Assiduity: Being a Memoir of the Late Mr. Richard H. Hart, of Stawell, Some Time President of the Australian Native's Association OF design - because young people complain that memoirs are monotonous in their details, and the style of relating those details is a stereotyped one. These evils I have striven to avoid. Inasmuch as this book is published under the auspices of the Australian Natives' Association, I have endeavored to respect the non-sectarian and non-political character of the Association this I hope I have done without the sacrifice of any principle of faith or honor.
