    41 ROYAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF QUEENSLAND JOURNAL Volume XIV, No.l May 1990 Arthur Hodgson The Centaur Who Left His Sheep by J.CH. Gill (All Rights Reserved) Read at a meeting of the Society on 27 Julyl989 Arthur Hodgson was the first born of the Rev. Edward Hodgson's third marriage. Edward Hodgson's first wife had died after childbirth in 1809 and though the child survived it lived for eight months only. His second wife died in similar circumstances in 1813, but this time the child, Edward Franks, survived. His third wife, whom he married in 1815, was Charlotte Pemberton of Trumpington, Cambridge and in addition to Arthur she produced five other sons and three daughters. Arthur was born at Rickmansworth vicarage on 29 June 1818 and was to enjoy a long and rewarding life although marred by tragedy in his final years.' Sent to Eton as an oppidan in 1828 he passed into college in 1830. At the age of 15 he entered the Royal Navy as a Volunteer first class and reported for duty on 21 March 1834. His first posting was to HMS Canopus which proceeded to the Mediterranean station for a three year tour of duty. On 1 February 1836 he was promoted to midshipman. Canopus returned to England in February 1837, was decommissioned and her crew paid off. Hodgson then left the Royal Navy to go up to Cambridge University.^ He was admitted as a pensioner at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge on 11 May 1837. After matriculating at Michaelmas 1837 Hodgson remained at Cambridge for four terms and then went down without graduating in 1838.^ Mr.

The decade saw a flowering of Australian literature. It saw tremendous social and economic changes. Partly as a result of these changes, these years saw the rise of a new force in Australian politics - the labour movement. In some colonies, this development was overshadowed by the consolidation of a colonial liberal tradition reaching its culmination in the Deakinite liberalism of the early years of the tlommdhwealth. Developments in Queensland differed from those in the southern colonies.

  • Some Queensland Memoir Writer^
    Some Queensland Memoir Writer^. Presidential Address, by F. W. S. CUMBRAE-STEWART, B.A., B.O.L. At Annual Meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland, Friday, 30th August, 1918. Five years have passed since the inaugural meeting of this Society was held under the chairmanship of His Excellency, Sir William Macgregor, then Governor of Queensland and patron of the Society. During the time which has elapsed much history has been made, and the events which have shaken the world have not been favourable to quiet historical research, and I think that the Society must be congratulated on having maintained its existence in spite of so much that has hindered its work. Other difficulties overshadowed us. Before the first year had passed several of our members had died, and Sir William Macgregor had completed his useful and unstinted official service to the Empire. His retirement from the Governorship of Queensland removed him from us to his native;land. None of us who were privileged to be present will forget that morning when, on 15th July, 1914, he said farewell to us. Then came the war, which the wise had foretold, but the foolish ones had thought- was impossible. At one time the question of suspending the Society's operations was considered, but it was decided to carry on. When Sir Wm. Macgregor's successor arrived, he gave very ready and material help by taking the Society under his patronage. There are Others who have passed from our midst whose places we can never fill. Each year has added its toll.

  • A LETTER from ARTHUR HODGSON to HENRY STUART RUSSELL the Genesis of Queensland
    211 A LETTER FROM ARTHUR HODGSON TO HENRY STUART RUSSELL The Genesis of Queensland SIR ARTHUR HODGSON The Editor has received from Mr. Alec. H. Chisholm, ornithologist and historian, and a Fellow of the Society, a copy of a letter sent by Arthur Hodgson' to Henry Stuart Russell,^ which is of historic interest. It relates to the pub­ lication of Russell's book "The Genesis of Queensland."^ The letter was dated 9 March 1888. It read as foUows: Clopton House, Stratford on Avon. "My Dear Russell, "Yesterday 'The Genesis of Queensland' reached me from Sydney by parcel-post. It was a long time en route, our son Edward, manager of Eton Vale, having written to us that the book was in his possession, and received favourable reviews, had been forwarded by him to Clopton. 212 "I called last week, when in London, at several bookseUers, but they knew nothing, and at Stamford's, Charing Cross, I was told that such a book would be in great request, as Queensland, owing to its vast mineral resources, was largely in the ascendant. "I have sent them the name of the pubUsher, and to Bumper's in Oxford Street, etc., etc., and at the Colonial Institute your book was unknown. "I hope that the pubUshers have their agents in London, and that they have forwarded at least 100 copies, which I feel assured would find a very ready sale. "All this by way of introduction, and I may add that as soon as our friend RoUeston'' told me that such a book was on the stocks, I immediately (in May last) ordered two copies.

  • The Langs in Queensland 1858-65: an Unwritten Chapter Denis Cryle Presented at a Meeting of the Society 21 May 1987
    The Langs in Queensland 1858-65: An Unwritten Chapter Denis Cryle Presented at a meeting of the Society 21 May 1987 The history of nineteenth century Queensland journals and journalists has been a longstanding preoccupation of this Society. Details of newspaper proprietors and printers have been assiduously compiled by such leading Society members as Alfred Davies' and Clem Lack,^ while, in more recent years. Rod Kirkpatrick and James Manion have contributed addresses on the same subject.^ In a carefully researched paper, Kirkpatrick paid tribute to the work of former Society President, Alan Arthur Morrison, explaining how he had set out to amplify Morrison's suggestive analysis of Queensland provincial journalism. In spite of the wealth of detail which both Kirkpatrick and Marion have provided, Morrison's noteworthy attempt to compile a comprehensive social history of colonial Queensland, using the press as a vantage point, has still to be fully developed. In keeping with Morrison's preoccupations," this address will focus on the formative 1860's, with special reference to the Lang family. Preoccupied with details of newspaper production and personnel, most researchers have neglected to study the role by influential con­ tributors in nineteenth century journalism. Operating on a free-lance rather than routine basis, articulate writers used the colonial press to agitate a range of important issues. One of the most prolific con­ tributors during the mid nineteenth century was John Dunmore Lang, author of Cooksland (1847) and architect of controversial immigration ventures to Moreton Bay (1848-49). Lang's colonial reputation owed much to his prodigious newspaper correspondence, most of which was informative rather than merely personal or defamatory.

    Page 255 Chapter 6 The politics of ‘coloured labour’ in Queensland, 1876-1882 THE CONFLICTS which led to the adoption of the White Australia policy were experienced most intensely in Queensland, and about Queensland, in the years from 1876 until the deportation of the majority of Pacific Islanders in 1906.1 It was the colony whose tropical industries were most advanced, and whose non- European, non-indigenous population was the largest. Here the ruling class found itself grappling with the question of who should comprise the labouring class in the tropics. While some focused purely on the profits they might make, others were troubled by the possible consequences of such decisions—for colonisation, continued “white” immigration, the structure of their economy and society, investor confidence and investment flows, military security, the structure of their ideology and the problems of social control. 1 In colonial discussion, Pacific Islanders and labourers brought from New Guinea were generically described as “Polynesians”, despite all being “Melanesian”. Indian labourers indentured for field work were commonly described as “coolies”. Page 256 Chapter 6: ‘Coloured labour’ in Queensland, 1876-82 The dilemmas were enormous. Queensland capitalists had organised a dynamic and fabulously profitable sugar industry, which in turn opened up the tropical coast of Queensland to wider capitalist development. However planter success was founded upon the exploitation of Pacific Island labourers, and when they proved too few in number, the planters employed Chinese people, labourers from other Asian countries, and campaigned for the right to indenture Indian “coolies”. In the minds of most liberals, townspeople, selectors and miners, these coloured labourers and wealthy capitalists were harbingers of a society more like the backward American South than the powerful industrial economy of Great Britain.
