Politically engaged environmental histories with a global perspective can play a central role in addressing these contempo- rary concerns by exploring the historical dimensions of our shared crisis. This series encourages scholarship from the sciences, social sciences, and humanities that, crosses disciplines and reconceptualises the way we think about human-nature relations in time and space. It promotes historical studies that investigate all parts of the globe and all manner of environments, periods and concerns, especially in the global south, including topics such as arable and non-arable landscapes, the built environment, the Anthropocene, atmospheric and hydrological systems and animal-human interactions. We welcome, in particular, frameworks which can link environmental histories with science and technology studies.

  • Legal Pluralism and the East India Company in the Straits of Malacca
    Legal Pluralism and the English East India Company in the Straits of Malacca during the Early Nineteenth Century NURFADZILAH YAHAYA During the early nineteenth century, the English East India Company (EIC) was in a state of transition in Penang, an island in the Straits of Malacca off the coast of the Malay Peninsula. Although the EIC had established strong ties with merchants based in Penang, they had failed to convince the EIC government in Bengal to invest them with more legal powers. As a result, they could not firmly extend formal jurisdiction over the region. The Anglo-Dutch Treaty (also known as the Treaty of London) that officially cemented EIC legal authority over the Straits of Malacca, was not signed until 1824, bringing the three Straits Settlements of Penang, Malacca, and Singapore under EIC rule officially in 1826. Prior to that, the EIC imposed their ideas of legitimacy on the region via other means, mainly through the co-optation of local individuals of all origins who were identified as polit- ically and economically influential, by granting them EIC military protec- tion, and ease of sailing under English flags. Because co-opted influential individuals could still be a threat to EIC authority in the region, EIC com- pany officials eradicated competing loci of authority by discrediting them in courtroom trials in which they were treated as private individuals. All clients in EIC courts including royal personages in the region were treated like colonial subjects subject to English Common Law. By focusing on a series of trials involving a prominent merchant named Syed Hussain The author is a Research Fellow at the Asia Research Institute at the National University of Singapore.

Described by Fiona Kidman as a ‘ravishing, immersing read’, A Strange Beautiful Excitement is a ‘wild ride’ through the Wellington of Katherine Mansfield’s childhood. From the grubby, wind-blasted streets of Thorndon to the hushed green valley of Karori, author Redmer Yska, himself raised in Karori, retraces Mansfield’s old ground: the sights, sounds and smells of the rickety colonial capital, as experienced by the budding writer. Along the way his encounters and dogged research – into her Beauchamp ancestry, the social landscape, the festering, deadly surroundings – lead him (and us) to reevaluate long- held conclusions about the writer’s shaping years.

  • Boundary Makers: Land Surveying in Nineteenth-Century New Zealand1 Giselle Byrnes, Charles Darwin University, Darwin, Australia
    Boundary Makers: Land Surveying in nineteenth-century New Zealand1 Giselle Byrnes, Charles Darwin University, Darwin, Australia Key words Land surveying, colonisation, Maori land, land settlement SUMMARY Land surveyors in nineteenth-century colonial New Zealand were located, quite literally, at the ‘cutting edge’ of the great British imperial project to claim and tame new territories. The early land surveyors were important actors in this country’s history as they were among the advance guard of European settlers to walk the land and assess its potential for future development. Indeed, the landscape of modern New Zealand testifies to their work through the place-names they assigned and which are still visible on the map. Moreover, most colonial land surveyors were aware that they were not ‘first-time explorers’, but were traversing landscapes that were already known, named and mapped by the indigenous Maori. In the early period of organised British settlement, from the 1840s to the 1860s, the land surveyors’ efforts to claim the land were, therefore, much less an exercise in possessing the land outright than they were translating the meaning of land from one cultural framework into another. From the 1860s, however, and especially with the aggressive activities of the Native Land Court from 1865, the work of the colonial land surveyors took on a more potent role as Maori land was permanently transitioned from customary tenure to Crown-derived titles and subsequent private ownership. This essay briefly considers the colonising efforts of the early colonial land surveyors in New Zealand during the second half of the nineteenth-century following the assertion of British sovereignty 1840 and their negotiation of both the cultural and physical boundaries they encountered during the conduct of laying out the land for future settlement.

    Thomson, John Turnbull 1821 - 1884 Surveyor, engineer, architect, explorer, artist, writer John Turnbull Thomson is said to have been born on 10 August 1821 at Glororum farm, near Bamburgh, Northumberland, England, and was baptised on 28 September at Warenford. He was a son of Alexander Thomson and his wife, Janet Turnbull. Thomson was educated at Duns Academy in Berwickshire, Scotland, where he mixed with the sons of the owners of large estates on Penang Island, which became the El Dorado of his boyhood dreams. After completing a course in mathematics at Aberdeen University, and studying engineering at Newcastle upon Tyne, he sailed from England with a commission to survey the estates of Scott, Brown and Company, Penang. From 1838 to 1841 he led a rough, lonely life, surveying in the jungles of Penang and the neighbouring Province Wellesley. The excellence of his maps attracted the attention of the governor at Singapore and in 1841 he was appointed government surveyor and engineer. Over the next 12 years he produced a number of maps of the young town and Singapore Island, and a marine survey of Singapore Strait. He also constructed a number of bridges, buildings and roads. But probably his single greatest work was the design and construction, between 1847 and 1851, of the Horsburgh lighthouse on the eastern approaches to Singapore Strait. Still in use today, it is a fine memorial to his work in the East. Two years on the exposed lighthouse rock caused his health to break down and in 1853 he was invalided home to England. On recovery he was advised to seek employment in a more temperate climate and so came to New Zealand.
