Therein lay its attraction for men from the educated lower middle orders of British society with limited means. Charles Nicholson once remarked that one factor making life in the Colony tolerable was the opportunity given to every individual of quality to affect the course of history.1 Few immigrants could boast of their lineage but most aspired to be recognised as gentlemen. As a group they accepted unguestioningly the familiar ideology of the British aristocracy and aimed to form the landed elite of a similarly hierarchical society. They could not replicate that aristocracy's antiquity, wealth, or acceptance, to some extent, of its claims by the rest of society. While as the Rev. Ralph Mansfield testified in 1845: "Nearly all the respectable portion of our community, whatever their legitimate profession . are in some sense farmers and graziers'^ a few colonists could remember when even the oldest of the 'ancient nobility' were landless. The aspirant gentry were 'go getters' on the make and while some had been imbued with notions of leadership, command and social responsiblity during service careers as a group they lacked the British aristocracy's sense of obligation and service.

[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.

THE colony had been established many years before any successful attempt had been made to penetrate into the interior of the country, by crossing the range of hills, known to the colonists as the Blue Mountains: these mountains were considered as the boundary of the settlements westward, the country beyond them being deemed inaccessible. The year 1813 proving extremely dry, the grass was nearly all destroyed, and the water failed; the horned cattle suffered severely from this drought, and died in great numbers.

  • The Registry Books Are Approximately
    THETHE REGISTRYREGISTRY BOOKSBOOKS Page 2 Clifton Street Cemetery One of the most historically interesting facets of any burying ground are, without doubt, its registry books. Although the New Burying Ground was opened in 1797, it was not until 1831 that the Belfast Charitable Society began to keep a registry of all interments. It is unknown why they did not keep a registry from the beginning, but one reason may be that they were more interested in making money to finance the poor-house through the selling of the graves, than to worry about recording who was being buried in them. However at a meeting held in the poor-house on the 18th of December 1830 it was: Resolved -that a registry of all the interments in the Burying Ground of the Charitable Society be kept from the commencement of the next year, and that the Rev. Messrs Macartney and Hicks be requested to have a suitable book prepared for the purpose. The first burial recorded was on the 4th of January, 1831. However, the exact number of people buried in the burying ground before that will never be known. At a rough estimate it could be guessed that around 3,600 burials could have taken place before 1831. That is if up to 100 people had been buried per year, which was below the average amount of burials taking place throughout the 1830s. The figures shown in the three volumes of the registry books are approximately: Volume 1 1831-1841, 2,640 Volume 2 1841-1864, 5,489 Volume 3 1865-1984, 3,109 Add on the pre-1831 figures and the number of those buried in the New Burying Ground could be as high as 14,000.

  • Archaeological Reality. Excavations at Regentville, Penrith, New South
    AUSTRALIAN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 4,1986 Historical Reality: Archaeological Reality. Excavations at Regentville, Penrith, New South Wales, 1985 GRAHAM CONNAH Historical archaeology has the potential to explain archaeologicalprocess, as well as the capacity to add to the historical record. In this paper, the author, who is Professor ofPrehistory and Archaeology at the University of New England, discusses excavations conducted in 1985 at Regentville, near Penrith, west of Sydney. This work was carried out in conjunction with Judy Birmingham of the University ofSydney and the analysis ofevidence from the site is still in progress. Regentville is the site ofan imposing country mansion that formed the nucleus ofan agricultural estate ofthe 1820s to 1840s. The present paper contrasts the extensive historical record that exists for this site, with the relatively meagre archaeological one. It is suggested that the site has more to tell us about the way archaeological sites form, than about the life and times of Sir John Jamison. who lived there. INTRODUCTION The study of historical archaeology in Australia has usually been justified by the belief that archaeological evidence can supplement the historical record. Because of this belief, there has been little attempt to ask the sort of anthropologically­ oriented questions that have been increasingly addressed by historical archaeologists in the United States of America. There has also been little interest in using historical archaeo­ logical data as a means of testing methods and theories belonging to the overall discipline of archaeology. Thus, there appears to be no Australian equivalent, in either particular or general terms, to the classic study by Deetz and Dethlefsen,' in which the archaeological technique of seriation was assessed by reference to seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth-century American gravestones.

In 1784 a young English medical student, James Edward Smith, purchased from Linneaus’s son most of the Linnean private collection of books, manuscripts and natural history specimens. 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+). Fellows of the Linnean Society resident in Australia in the nineteenth century included William Archer, George Bennett, Sir Thomas Brisbane, George Everett, Sir John Franklin, Ronald C. Gunn, Sir John Jamison, Phillip P. King, Alexander McLeay, William S. Macleay, Sir Ferdinand von Mueller, John S.
