  • SIR TIMOTHY COGHLAN Papers, 1878-1969 Reels M807-M814, M828
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT SIR TIMOTHY COGHLAN Papers, 1878-1969 Reels M807-M814, M828 Mr A.F. Coghlan Ludwell Grange Horsted Keynes Haywards Heath West Sussex National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1971-72 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Sir Timothy Augustine Coghlan (1855-1926) was born in Sydney, the son of Irish immigrants. He attended the Cleveland Street Public School and Sydney Grammar School. In 1870 he became a pupil-teacher at Fort Street Public School and in 1873 he joined the Department of Public Works. Enjoying the statistical and mathematical aspects of the work, he rose rapidly and by 1884 he was an assistant engineer. He did not, however, aspire to be an engineer and in 1886 he successfully sought the new position of government statistician. Coghlan held the post for nearly twenty years and was widely recognised as the leading statistician in Australia. He became a fellow of the Royal Statistical Society in 1893. He published the annual New South Wales Statistical Register and the Wealth and Progress of New South Wales. An ambitious man, he expanded the functions of his office and eagerly accepted commissions from the Government. He advised it on financial, electoral reform and local government matters, he was a member of the Public Service Board from 1896 onwards and was the Registrar of Friendly Societies from 1892 to 1905. He served on a number of royal commissions. He was the obvious choice for the position of Commonwealth Statistician, but he turned down the offer in 1906. Coghlan visited England in 1897 and investigated the Agent-General’s office on behalf of the Public Service Board.

  • LORD HOPETOUN Papers, 1853-1904 Reels M936-37, M1154
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT LORD HOPETOUN Papers, 1853-1904 Reels M936-37, M1154-56, M1584 Rt. Hon. Marquess of Linlithgow Hopetoun House South Queensferry Lothian Scotland EH30 9SL National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1973, 1980, 1983 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE John Adrian Louis Hope (1860-1908), 7th Earl of Hopetoun (succeeded 1873), 1st Marquess of Linlithgow (created 1902), was born at Hopetoun House, near Edinburgh. He was educated at Eton and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, but did not enter the Army. In 1883 he was appointed Conservative whip in the House of Lords and in 1885 was made a lord-in-waiting to Queen Victoria. In 1886 he married Hersey Moleyns, the daughter of Lord Ventry. In 1889 Lord Knutsford, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, appointed Hopetoun as Governor of Victoria and he held the post until March 1895. Although it was a time of economic depression, he entertained extravagantly, but his youthful enthusiasm and fondness for horseback tours of country districts won him considerable popularity. His term coincided with the first federation conferences and he supported the federation movement strongly. In 1895-98 Hopetoun was paymaster-general in the government of Lord Salisbury. In 1898 Joseph Chamberlain, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, offered him the post of Governor-General of Canada, but he declined. He was appointed Lord Chamberlain in 1898 and had a close association with members of the Royal Family. In July 1900 Hopetoun was appointed the first Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia. He arrived in Sydney on 15 December 1900 and his first task was to appoint the head of the new Commonwealth ministry.

It is a story, which is worth the telling, of a time when high ideals inspired men to effort, and may repeat itself sooner than we think in a struggle for the closer Union of the British peoples. If the names of the actors be unfamiliar to English readers, let it be remembered that Galt, George Brown, Tupper, and John A.

From ‘Useless Brutes’ to National Treasures: A Century of Evolving Attitudes towards Native Fauna in New South Wales, 1860s to 1960s1 BRETT J. STUBBS School of Resource Science and Management, Southern Cross University, Lismore, NSW, Australia 2480 SUMMARY The emergence of native fauna as a theme in conservation is used to explore the changing relationship between nature and human culture in late nineteenth century and early to mid-twentieth century Australia. Ideas about fauna conser- vation are traced through a century-long stream of protective legislation and associated parliamentary debate in the colony of New South Wales. During this period, animal protection legislation evolved in purpose from the protection of introduced game in the 1860s, to the protection of native birds, and eventually to the protection of other native fauna, particularly marsupials. In doing so, it conflicted with laws which encouraged the destruction of marsupials in the interests of agricultural and pastoral production.
