The Planning proposal seeks to list the property at 68 Denistone Road, Denistone as a heritage item in the Ryde Local Environmental Plan 2014 (RLEP).

We are also writing to you to express serious concerns about the process which has been undertaken prior to the application to the Minster for a gateway determination in respect of the site and to bring to your attention the compelling and contradictory evidence which militates strongly against the proposed listing of the site as a heritage item.

[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.

  • Chapter 14 – Landowner, Merchant and Banker (1819 - 1837)
    INDUSTRY & PERSEVERANCE - A History of David Brown (1750 – 1836) and Family Manuscript : Alpha 2 July 2016html Chapter 14 – Landowner, Merchant and Banker (1819 - 1837) It is said that there were two distinct social groups of influence having evolved in the early 19th century. One was based on wealth from trade, and the other from land and livestock. James Chisholm managed successfully to have a foot in both ‘camps’, and to even go beyond that, to finance. As a consequence of James’ second marriage (to Mary Bowman) his family expanded steadily over the following years. The first was a son, John (James’ father & father-in-law’s name) William, born to James and Mary on 9 October 1819. Barely nine months later, another son, Alexander (James’ brother’s name), was born to James and Mary on 27 June 1820. James’ new family and business interests tended to put him on a different path to other members of the Brown family. There is evidence enough that he and they continued to keep in touch, and be aware of their connection. During the 1820s James continued to acquire quality real estate to compliment his already considerable holdings. Prospect, Parramatta, Quakers Hill, Camden, and Cabramatta were areas in which he invested.454 His son, James, extended the Chisholm’s interests considerably in the Goulburn region and elsewhere in southern NSW. James’ farming property in the Camden region at the start of the new decade exceeded 3,500 acres. In building it up he had spent considerable time at his St Andrews property making it his business to oversight its management and acquainting himself with what was happening in the neighbourhood.

Four years later Smith founded the Linnean Society. In 1802, when the Linnean Society of London received a royal charter, it comprised 228 fellows. Smith was president of the Society from 1788 until his death in 1828. The Society has been based at Burlington House since 1857. It began publishing its Transactions in 1791, while the Proceedings of the Linnean Society first appeared in 1839. Subsequently it published the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society (1856+) and the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society (1856+).
