The Poetical Works Of Newton Goodrich
Published by George Robertson: Melbourne 1873 1st Edition

"The Poetical Works of Newton Goodrich, published by George Robertson in Melbourne, is a collection of reflective and lyrical verse composed by the Australian poet Newton Goodrich (a Collingwood Pawnbroker). The volume showcases a range of themes common to 19th-century colonial poetry, including nature, patriotism, personal reflection, and spiritual contemplation. Goodrich's poetry is marked by its sincerity and emotional tone, often blending Romantic influences with a distinct sense of Australian landscape and experience. His work reflects the inner life of a thoughtful observer navigating the cultural and natural world of a young and evolving nation.

The collection is notable for its earnest engagement with moral and philosophical questions, often conveyed through traditional verse forms and rich imagery. Though not widely known today, Goodrich's poetry offers insight into the literary aspirations of colonial Australia and the voices of its lesser-known contributors. His verses stand as a testament to the quiet literary undercurrents of the time, capturing both the ideals and introspections of a settler poet striving to articulate beauty, faith, and belonging within a changing land."
