Girls, 78. “The increased attention given to the subject of education, may justly be regarded as one of the most interesting signs of the times. One important result of that attention, has been the discovery that vast numbers are still uneducated, and also that the instruction which has in many instances been communicated, has been most defective. And these inquiries and results are the more important and affecting, because corresponding investigations as to the progress and increase of crime, have shown, that it is from those who are either wholly untaught, or whose education has been morally defective, that the great mass of criminals have been supplied—a fact which may well occasion deep regret; for had education been more general and effective, what evils might have been prevented !— but a fact which also supplies a powerful motive to renewed and increased exertions, and which especially forces the conviction, that education will only prove a real and extensive blessing as it is based on the principles of divine truth: that valuable as is general knowledge, yet, that the moral training, the instruction which regards man as a responsible and immortal being, and which the Bible alone can supply, is of paramount importance, alike in the promotion of personal happiness, and in securing the beneficial influence the individual in the family, and in society at large; both in preparing for the duties ‘of the life that now is’, and the enjoyment ‘of that which is to come’. With these convictions, your committee cannot but feel a confirmed and increased attachment to the ' British system' of education, which takes the Bible as its guide, and which is no less distinguished by its liberal unsectarian spirit, than by its scriptural character; and they trust that the examination which has this day been witnessed, will both confirm old attachments and attract new friends. The committee have the pleasing duty of stating, that since the last meeting of the subscribers, His Grace the Duke of Sutherland has accepted the office of patron of the school, so long held by the late Earl Spencer. They are assured the supporters of the institution will unite with them in tendering to His Grace their very respectful and grateful acknowledgments for the readiness with which he has conferred his valuable patronage; and they trust, that thus sanctioned, the school will receive a larger measure of support than at any former period. The exertions of the present master and mistress have been highly satisfactory, and a considerable increase has taken place in the attendance. There are at present on the books— BOYS 110. GIRLS. 78.

Amongst its earliest promoters were the late Captain Wilson and Samuel Favell Esq. The title under which it was ushered into public notice, was not capriciously or unwarrantably assumed; the countenance given to the rising establishment having been of the highest order. On 10th June 1817, H.R.H. the Duke of Sussex presided at the anniversary meeting. The funds, however, gradually falling off, it was resolved, in 1821, that the pupils should contribute a small sum weekly towards the expences of the school the payment of which is still continued; not so much from any deficiency in the present resources, as for the purpose of impressing their parents with a sense of the value of instruction. April 2012; Search of National Library Trove database for references to ‘Connor’ or ‘Conner’ in Tas., NSW and Vic newspapers between 1840 and 1954 by A. Connor About ten years since, from various causes, the school sank into a state of inefficiency, from which it was redeemed by a public meeting, held at Grove House, on the 14th March 1832. The arrears were paid off, the school increased, and a fund raised for the erection of the present eligible premises. The new building comprises, in addition to a capacious school room, with class room and the requisite offices, a residence for the master and a spacious playground, fenced in. The cost was less than £650. The number of boys at present in the school is about two hundred. They receive a sound scriptural education, and the system pursued has special reference to their continued self-improvement in after-life. The National Archives http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=088-iv33&cid=-1#-1 Camberwell British School, 1814-1877 The school originated in the efforts of Thomas Cranfield of Bermondsey to establish a school in the most over-crowded and neglected part of Camberwell. In 1810 he obtained a lease of a cottage in Nelson Street (later Toulon Street), Camberwell. A few residents became interested in his efforts and on 29 November 1813 a meeting was held to launch his scheme. The school was opened in Cranfields building on 1 January 1814. In 1816 it became affiliated to the British and Foreign School Society and received a small grant from them. It was under the direction and support of a local undenominational committee. New buildings on a site at the corner of Leipsic Road (later Comber Grove) were opened in 1836. On the passing of the Education Act in 1870 negotiations were opened for the London School Board to take over the school, but they were unsuccessful and the school was closed at Christmas 1871. Its place was taken by the Leipsic Road Board School in 1877. Thirty sixth report of the British and Foreign School Society 1841 pp 72-73 Camberwell. Boys, 200. "Three years have elapsed since the Camberwell British School for boys presented to its subscribers and friends a statement of its progress and prospects. They conceive, however, that it is due to those who support the school, to inform them more frequently of its circumstances, and it is their intention in future to do so. On the present occasion they must, for the reason mentioned, refer to the proceedings of the last three years, and they are happy to think that they are of a satisfactory character.

PREFACE The material for " The Rulers of Strathspey" was originally collected by the Author for the article on Ogilvie-Grant, Earl of Seafield, in The Scots Peerage, edited by Sir James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon King of Arms. A great deal of the information collected had to be omitted OAving to lack of space. It was thought desirable to publish it in book form, especially as the need of a Genealogical History of the Clan Grant had long been felt. It is true that a most valuable work, " The Chiefs of Grant," by Sir William Fraser, LL.D., was privately printed in 1883, on too large a scale, however, to be readily accessible. The impression, moreover, was limited to 150 copies. This book is therefore published at a moderate price, so that it may be within reach of all the members of the Clan Grant, and of all who are interested in the records of a race which has left its mark on Scottish history and the history of the Highlands. The Chiefs of the Clan, the Lairds of Grant, who succeeded to the Earldom of Seafield and to the extensive lands of the Ogilvies, Earls of Findlater and Seafield, form the main subject of this work.

Encouraged by the support of William Sorell, the former Lieutenant- Governor, and Edward Curr, who had recently returned from the colony, they formed the Van Diemen’s Land Company and applied to Lord Bathurst for a grant of 500,000 acres. Bathurst agreed to a grant of 250,000 acres. The Van Diemen’s Land Company received a royal charter in 1825 giving it the right to cultivate land, build roads and bridges, lend money to colonists, execute public works, and build and buy houses, wharves and other buildings. Curr was appointed the chief agent of the Company in Van Diemen’s Land.

    FRANCIS BARRALLIER, EXPLORER, SURVEYOR, ENGINEER, ARTILLERY OFFICER, AIDE-DE-CAMP, ARCHITECT AND SHIP DESIGNER: THREE YEARS IN NEW SOUTH WALES (1800-1803) VALERIE LHUEDE' Ensign Barrallier [... discharged] the duties of Military Engineer and Artillery Officer, superintending the Military Defences, Batteries and Cannon of this Settlement, in addition to which he has most arduously and voluntarily executed the duties of Civil Engineer and Surveyor to the advancement of the Geography and the Natural History of the Territory.2 I have informed you [Sir Joseph Banks] in my several letters of the great use Ensign Barrallier, of the NSW Corps, was of to me and the public, first in going to the southward and surveying the coast from Wilson's Promontory to Western Port; next in surveying Hun ter's River, where he went twice; and since then in making journey to the mountains, which was introductory to his undertaking the journey he afterwards performed. [...] As Col. Paterson has thought proper [...] to write me officially that Mr. Barrallier's excursions were contrary to the Duke of York's instructions, I found myself obliged to give him up, and relinquish this highly desirable object for the present. I [was] concerned at it, as the young man has such ardour and perseverance that I judged much public benefit would have resulted to his credit and my satisfaction. [...] In conse quence, I [...] claimed him as my aide-de-camp, and mat the object of discovery should not be totally relinquished, I sent him on an embassy to the King of the Mountains. Governor Philip Gidley King3 Chris Cunningham, in his book Blue Mountains Rediscovered* quotes Mark Twain in Following the Equator (1831) as saying, "Australian history is full of surprises, and adventures, and incongruities, and contradictions and incredibilities, but they are all true, they all happened".

I^HE origin of the family of Grant, like most families of Highland descent, is lost in the mists of antiquity. Many origins have been ascribed to it, including a Danish, a Norwegian, an English, an Irish, a Norman, and a Celtic one. In his " Chiefs of Grant " Sir William Fraser endeavours to set up the Norman theory, and by connecting the family with that of Byset of East Bridgeford, in Nottinghamshire, traces them to the north in the train of that family of Byset, who, in the reign of Alexander II., had become powerful in the province of Moray. In De Magny's list of the companions of William the Conqueror occurs the name of " Robert Grante." The Clan, however, has always favoured a Celtic origin, as being indi- genous to Strathspey, and derive the name Grant from a large moor called Griantach, or Sliabh Grianais, the plain of the sun. The earliest reference on record to the name connected with Scotland is that of Thomas Grant, merchant of the King of Scotland, who, on 2nd January, 1252, was deposed from his office of visor of York Castle.

  • Poster - Australia on the Map 1606 – 2006
    POSTER - AUSTRALIA ON THE MAP 1606 – 2006 Judith Scurfield State Library of Victoria, Australia These notes are to accompany my poster to be presented in the poster session at the International Cartographic Congress, A Coruna, July 2005. This forms part of Theme 25, “History of Colonial Cartography”, Session 1, Australasia, to be held on 11 July. The poster will consist of a sheet probably containing four maps, a list of landings on the Australian coast taken from the “Australia on the Map” website, and several blocks of text. The text to be included in your Proceedings is as follows:- AUSTRALIA ON THE MAP 1606 - 2006 “Australia on the Map 1606 – 2006” is a commemoration of the first European landfall on the Australian coast, and of subsequent coastal exploration by mariners of many nationalities. The first landing was by the Dutch ship Duyfken in March 1606, on the west coast of Cape York Peninsula in Queensland. She was captained by Willem Jansz in the service of the Dutch East India Company (VOC), which had been founded in 1602. He charted about 300km of the coast near present-day Weipa, as well as islands off the southern coast of Papua New Guinea. His original journals and charts have been lost, but a copy of his chart made in 1670 survives in the Van der Hem Atlas in the Osterreichische Nationalbibliotek in Vienna (see Fig. 1). In July/August 1606, Spanish captain Luis Vaez de Torres in the San Pedro and LosTres Reijes sailed through the strait later named after him, but did not touch the mainland.

This canoe is based on descriptions by First Fleet observers, who in 1788 found Warrane (Sydney Cove) crowded with men and women skimming across the waters in their fragile craft. The replica was made from a single sheet of inner bark cut from a stringybark tree (Eucalyptus obliqua) near Batemans Bay, with permission and assistance from Paul Carriage, Aboriginal cultural officer, Forests NSW. The ends were bunched and tied together with stringybark cord.ith stringybark cord. 2 Bennelong Point from Dawes Point, c. 1804 Attributed to John Eyre (b. 1771) Watercolour on card V1/1810/1 ‘They [Natives] often Come on board our ship, which they call an Island …’ David Blackburn to his sister Margaret Blackburn, 17 March 1791 MLMSS 6937/1/1 This watercolour view looking across the water from Dawes Point (Tarra) to Bennelong Point (Tubowgulle) is an early work attributed to artist John Eyre, a convicted housebreaker, who advertised in the Sydney Gazette for a box of watercolours one month after he received his pardon on 4 June 1804.

  • The Navy in South Australia from Colonial Days to Present
    OCCASIONAL PAPER 62 Call the Hands Issue No. 34 September 2019 The Navy in South Australia from Colonial Days to the Present By Dennis J Weatherall JP TM AFAITT(L) LSM Volunteer Researcher, Naval Historical Society of Australia It’s reputed that the first sighting of the southern coast of our Great South Land was by a Dutch ship in 1627 the “Gulden Zeepaard” under the command of a Francois Thijssen. The next record accords Rear Admiral Bruny D’Entrecasteaux in the French war ship “La Recherche”. He was looking for La Perouse who was on a voyage of discovery in 1788, in company with “Boussole” and “Astralabe”, both the latter seemingly disappearing without trace. Able Tasman probably saw the same coast even earlier in 1644 from his sketch charts. Another voyager was Lt. John McCluer of the Bombay Marine Company in 1790, followed by Captain Matthew Flinders in 1802-1803. A Lt. James Grant in January 1800, in command of “HMS Lady Nelson” (a 60 ton Brig), discovered and named parts of the coast such as Cape Banks, Cape Northumberland, Mount Gambier, Mount Schanck. He was promoted to Commander after a battle with the Dutch in 1805 off today’s Netherlands and he was remembered with a memorial atop Mt Gambier in 1900 for his discoveries. The Province of South Australia (as opposed to Colony)1 was established in December 1833 when the British Parliament passed the South Australian Act. South Australia was in fact called a “Province” rather than a Colony to distinguish it from other Colonies that had transportation as their main source of population.
