  • SL Magazine Autumn 2019
    –Autumn 2019 Message I promise that I don’t snoop on visitors to the Library, but just before Christmas I found myself attached, as it were, to a group passing through the new paintings galleries. One of them, a little peppery, didn’t like what he saw: ‘What’s all this? I thought this was supposed to be a Library. What have they done to the books?’ In recent issues of this organ I’ve had something to say about the shared history of libraries and museums, and we all know that the material now on display in the Mitchell Building represents part of a uniquely rich and important collection that has been growing for nearly 200 years. But what about the books? It’s gradually dawning on libraries around the world that the growth of digital access to reading material has not meant the demise of the printed word. If I’d had the chance, I would have assured our peppery visitor that the book is not dead, and it was never going to be. Even if print were in decline, we would still have a core obligation to protect, preserve and present the printed material in our collection, while continuing to add to it. Plans at your Library for 2019 include the expansion of our ‘Critics’ Picks’ collection of new books reviewed in major journals in Australia, Europe and the United States. We have ordered more desks and chairs for the Mitchell Library Reading Room — thanks to the generous support of our Foundation — to cope with the increased number of readers we are delighted to welcome.

  • Irish in Australia
    THE IRISH IN AUSTRALIA. BY THE SAME AUTHOR. AN AUSTRALIAN CHRISTMAS COLLECTIONt A Series of Colonial Stories, Sketches , and Literary Essays. 203 pages , handsomely bound in green and gold. Price Five Shillings. A VERYpleasant and entertaining book has reached us from Melbourne. The- author, Mr. J. F. Hogan, is a young Irish-Australian , who, if we are to judge- from the captivating style of the present work, has a brilliant future before him. Mr. Hogan is well known in the literary and Catholic circles of the Australian Colonies, and we sincerely trust that the volume before us will have the effect of making him known to the Irish people at home and in America . Under the title of " An Australian Christmas Collection ," Mr. Hogan has republished a series of fugitive writings which he had previously contributed to Australian periodicals, and which have won for the author a high place in the literary world of the. Southern hemisphere . Some of the papers deal with Irish and Catholic subjects. They are written in a racy and elegant style, and contain an amount of highly nteresting matter relative to our co-religionists and fellow -countrymen under the Southern Cross. A few papers deal with inter -Colonial politics , and we think that home readers will find these even more entertaining than those which deal more. immediately with the Irish element. We have quoted sufficiently from this charming book to show its merits. Our readers will soon bear of Mr. Hogan again , for he has in preparation a work on the "Irish in Australia," which, we are confident , will prove very interesting to the Irish people in every land.

  • Introduction
    Introduction In his third Boyer Lecture of November 2009, General Peter Cosgrove, the former Chief of the Australian Defence Force, noted several points on the subject of ‘Leading in Australia’, based on his own forty years of military experience. It was ‘a universal truth’, he said, that leaders ‘are accountable’. ‘Leaders who fail to appreciate this fundamental precept of accountability must also fail to muster the profound commitment true leadership demands’. Furthermore, leadership required a keen understanding of the nature of teamwork, and of the fact that ‘teamwork is adversarial’, whether the team be pitted against another, against the environment or against the standards that the team has set itself. The key to successful leadership is ‘to simply and clearly identify the adversary to the team’ and to overcome the team’s or one’s own shortcomings to forge a cohesive unit united against the adversary. Finally, a leader must be an effective communicator. ‘Communication is the conduit of leadership’, and ‘Leadership uncommunicated is leadership unrequited’. ‘Leadership messages must be direct, simple, [and] fundamentally relevant to each member of the team’.1 While Cosgrove was speaking broadly of contemporary leadership in the military, government and business, his general statements were as applicable to the late eighteenth century as they are today.

The two principal leaders for that period were Captain Arthur Phillip R.N. and Major Francis Grose, the commandant of the New South Wales Corps who assumed command of the colony on Phillip’s departure in December 1792.
