I I· ill I 11 Historical and archaeological analysis ofParramattaHospital, Parramatta, N.S.W. 1. INTRODUCTION. This report was commissioned by the Department of Public Works, N.S.W. on 18 July 1990. Its purpose is to determine the archaeological potential of the site, and to make recommendations for the conservation and archaeological investigation of the site prior to redevelopment. The site ofParramatta Hospital is bounded on the north by Parramatta River, on the east by Marsden Street, on the south by George Street, and on the west by O'Connell Street (Figure 1.1). This study was commissioned by the Department of Public Works, N.S.W. as a result of a conservation analys~s ofParramatta Hospital, undertaken by Clive Lucas Stapleton and Partners in 1990. Paragraph 7.5.2 of this report specifically recommends the IJ development of a comprehensive archaeological program for the site. 1 11 The following reports ·are closely related to the present study and have been consulted '1 in its preparation: Clive Lucas Stapleton and Partners Pty Ltd., Brislington House.

HISTORICAL ANALYSIS. ~~I As part of this study a detailed historical analysis of the early development of the site was undertaken by Terry Kass, the full text of which may be found in Appendix 1. This additional historical research was necessary to complement that already completed rl,.- by Clive Lucas Stapleton and Partners Pty Ltd.! Without it, the thorough assessment fl of the archaeological potential of the site would have been impossible. II 2.1. Summ-ary of historical evidence. [I The historical documentation for each town allotment is summarised below (Figure 2.1). l._-I ~I 2.1.1. Section. 19. Allotment 8. The Hospital. The first hospital in Parramatta was erected in November 1790, and comprised a tent 1I with a thatched roof. The historian, James Jervis, considered that this hospital was located on Macquarie Street, near the Arthur Phillip High School. I A brick hospital with two wards was erected on the present hospital site in 1792. The whole site was surrounded by a palisade, to confine the patients. The dispensary was I mentioned in 1798, and likewise the surgeon's house in 1799. I A new hospital was erected between 1817 and 1819 to the design of John Watts. In order to make way for its construction, the Government had to purchase the house of 11 Daniel AlIen, probably on an allotment facing the present Marsden Street, as shown on the 1804 map of Parramatta (Figure 2.3). The hospital underwent extensive repairs before 1848. Furthermore, the surgeon's house was extended in 1832, while the dead Il"!'!. house and perimeter stone wall were added in 1844.

  • METHODIST PIONEERS in the SOUTH PACIFIC by Rev
    METHODIST PIONEERS IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC By Rev. Dr F. Baker The first chaplain appointed to New South Wales in 1786 was a Methodist in the secondary sense of being a devout evangelical clergyman, and was deliberately sponsored as such by William Wilberforce, friend and admirer of the Wesleys. The second who arrived under Wilberforce's auspices, Samuel Marsden (1765-1838),1 was similar in spirituality, but much tougher both in spirit and in body. His Methodism was even nearer to that of Wesley, for he had been born into a Yorkshire Wesleyan family. and apparently became one of their lay preachers.2 He was educated for the Anglican ministry at the expense of the Elland Clerical Society, an evangelical group founded in 1767 by Wesley's friend the Rev. Henry Venn, vicar of Huddersfield.3 By them he was sent to Hull Grammar School (aged 23!) and then on to Magdalene College. Cambridge, where he was befriended by Rev. Charles Simeon, after whom he named one of his children.4 The dire straits of the Chaplain in New South Wales, however, undoubtedly stressed by Governor Phillip in person as well as by Johnson himself in letters, made Wilberforce and his friends extremely anxious to secure another evangelical candidate as quickly as possible. Therefore they exerted pressure on Marsden, even to the extent of persuading him to leave Cambridge without graduating. His agreement was a measure of his Christian dedication, and also proof that they had indeed chosen the right man, eminently qualified by spiritual gifts, by robust strength, and by practical training.

  • Reputations on the Line in Van Diemen's Land
    REPUTATIONS ON THE LINE IN VAN DIEMEN’S LAND: a dissertation on the general theme of the Rule of Law as it emerged in a young penal colony with particular emphasis on the law of defamation by ROSEMARY CONCHITA LUCADOU-WELLS LLB., (Queensland), B.Ed., (Tasmania), MA., (Murdoch), PhD., (Deakin) This thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Laws of Murdoch University, 2012. I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. Rosemary Conchita Lucadou-Wells ABSTRACT This research focuses on the development of the jurisprudence of the infant colony of Van Diemen’s Land now known as Tasmania, with particular interest on the law of defamation. During the first thirty years of this British penal colony its population was subject to changes. There were the soldiery, who provided the basis of government headed by a Lieutenant Governor, the indigenous people, the convicts, and gradually an influx of settlers who came enthused by governmental promises of grants of land. In addition to these free settlers there were a selection of convicts who, under a process of something akin to manumission under Roman Law, became upon completion of their sentence, eligible for freedom and possibly a grant of land. There developed a spirit of competition amongst the settlers, each wanted to become more successful than the others. The favourite means of distinguishing oneself was the uttering or publication of damaging words against a person who was perceived to be a rival.

  • A Cameo of Captain Thomas Rowley 2
    A Cameo of Captain Thomas Rowley 2 INTRODUCTION 0.01 The recent gift to my wife of a cameo brooch, said to have been a present from Captain Thomas Rowley to his bride, led to my making enquiries about my wife's great great great grandfather. Many of the stories which accompanied the gift were subsequently found to have little foundation but my enquiries produced much information which may prove of sufficient interest to others to justify my writing this tale of a man who played no small part in the establishment of the Colony of New South Wales. 0.02 In consequence, this Cameo of CAPTAIN THOMAS ROWLEY ( ? - 1806) is dedicated to the memory of his son THOMAS ROWLEY (1794 - 1862) his grandson HORATIO NELSON ROWLEY (1831 – 1887) his great grand-daughter ELIZA SMITH (nee ROWLEY) (1868 - 1921) his great great grandson LESLIE JOHN SMITH (1891 - 1944) and is written for the information of his great great great grand-daughter, my wife NANCY RAMAGE (nee SMITH) his great great great great grandchildren, our children RAYMOND JOHN ALASTAIR RAMAGE JUDITH ANNE RAMAGE DAVID ANDREW RAMAGE and his great great great great great grand-daughters, our grand-daughters ALICIA JANE RAMAGE LAUREN ELIZABETH RAMAGE 0.03 Preface to Second Edition: I have taken advantage of a request for reprinting to correct one or two errors of fact to which my attention has been drawn by some of the many interested descendants who have contacted me following the issue of the first edition.

    OUR AUSTRALIAN COLONIES. This is a blank page OUR AUSTRALIAN COLONIES: THEIR gisrotag, fyisstarg, Nt5ff nuts Vroputs. SAMUEL MOSSMAN, AUTHOR OF THE 'ARTICLES "AUSTRALIA" AND "AUSTRALASIA" IN THE ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNIC!, ETC. WITH MAP AND PLANS LONDON : THE RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY. DEFOSITORIES: 56, PATERNOSTER Row ; 65, ST. PAUL'S CHURCHYARD ; AND 164, PICCADILLY. SOLD BY THE BOOKSELLERS. This is a blank page PREFACE. THE rapidity with which Australia has risen into im- portance is without parallel in the history of the world. Eighty years ago the Great South Land was a terra incognita, whose outline was uncertain and whose interior was unexplored. Within the memory of persons now living the first detachment of European settlers landed upon its shores. Yet the colonies then founded probably surpass, in wealth and population, England in the days of the Tudors. In the course of a single generation Australia has reached a position which few nations have attained by the slow growth of centuries. From the vastness of its resources, the energy of its settlers, and its commanding position, it is impossible to prescribe limits to its future. Every English village, almost every family, has helped to people its towns, cultivqe its soil, cover its pastures with flocks, or explore its mineral treas.• res. Some of our most important manufactures depend for their prosperity upon the raw material which it supplies. Its yield of gold affects the money-markets of the world. The design of the present volume is to trace the history of this progress, to describe the soil and climate, the flora and fauna—so strange to English eyes—of its different Vi PREFACE.

To the best of my knowledge and belief it does not contain any material previously published or written by another person where due reference is not made in the text. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I acknowledge a huge debt of gratitude to my principal supervisor, Professor Russell Craig, for his inspiration and encouragement throughout the writing of this thesis. He gave insightful and expert advice, reassurance when I needed it most, and above all, never lost faith in me. Few supervisors can have been so generous with their time and so unfailing in their support. I also thank sincerely Professor Simon Ville and Dr. Sarah Jenkins for their measured and sage advice. It always came at the right point in the thesis and often helped me through a difficult patch. Westpac Historical Services archivists were extremely positive and supportive of my task. I am grateful to them for the assistance they so generously gave and for allowing me to peruse and handle their priceless treasures. This thesis would not have been possible without their cooperation. To my family, who were ever enthusiastic about my project and who always encouraged and championed me, I offer my thanks and my love. Finally, this thesis is dedicated to the thousands of colonial women who endured privations, sufferings and loneliness with indomitable courage.

[email protected] Hordern House recently received the wonderful library of Dr Robert Edwards AO, and over the next year or two we will be offering the library for sale. Bob is one of the great figures of Australian cultural history, at different times working as a leading anthropologist, a central figure in the study of indigenous art, a museum director and a driving force behind many of the international blockbuster art shows to travel to Australia. His early training as an anthropologist saw him doing fieldwork in remote Australia, and led to him becoming a museum curator in the 1960s and 70s. He was the founding director of the Australia Council’s Aboriginal Arts Board, perhaps most famous for its support of the Papunya Tula artists. He was the Director of the Museum of Victoria from 1984-90, the founding chairman of the National Museum of Australia and the founding chairman of the National Portrait Gallery. He has also for many years been the chief executive of Art Exhibitions Australia which brought to Australia significant exhibitions, including the Entombed Warriors from China (1982), Claude Monet (1985), Van Gogh (1993) and Rembrandt (1997). Bob is an ardent bibliophile, and his Library reflects the discerning taste of a knowledgeable and educated collector. Some books are of such rarity that they are known in only a handful of copies, and his collection embraces early Australian printing, early works on the Australian Aborigines, the major early voyage accounts, as well as works on early settlement and inland exploration.
