| July 22 | South Australian lyrics.—No I. South Australian, p. 4a. [Poem by D. G.—Spence stated in her Autobiography (pp. 20-2) that she wrote occasionally for the South Australian, and in 'The Art of Public Speaking. The Woman Speaker' (Register, 11 December 1909 p. 15ab) that she had published verses in the South Australian, including some in honour of Sir George Grey when he left South Australia. As D. G is the author of the only verses in the South Australian written about Governor Grey, I conclude that D. G. was Spence's pseudonym at the time. The poems are consistent with Spence's background and sentiments.] |

| [In her Autobiography (p. 21) Spence mentioned that she wrote articles in the South Australian in favour of State Aid to religion after the editor, her brother-in-law Andrew Murray, left the paper towards the end of 1851. There are a number of articles on the subject and many of them sound like Spence but there is insufficient evidence to ascribe any particular article to her.] | |
