"It must be remembered that my first two books expired promptly upon their birth, and No. 3, that is , Lorne Doone, narrowly shaved the bring of Lethe. In deed, as I told you, of the first 500 copies, only about 300 were sold, and the rest in a batch transported for Colonial fare [to Australia]." — Blackmore to Mrs. Halliday in a letter of 24 September 1879; qtd. Dunn, p. 130.
