Major A. B. Paterson has been on active service in Egypt
for the past eighteen months. The publishers feel it incumbent on them to say
that only a few of the pieces in this volume have been seen by him in proof;
and that he is not responsible for the selection, the arrangement or the title
of "Saltbush Bill, J.P., and Other Verses".
