Towards the close of 1890 the Australian booksellers a cautious, conservative class in their attitude towards new fiction, especially that produced by the adventurous female writer of these latter days began to display so marked an interest in the work of Ada Cambridge, that one not acquainted with the circumstances of the case might have credited them with a friendly possibly a patriotic desire to give due place to a newly-risen native genius.
