    41 ROYAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF QUEENSLAND JOURNAL Volume XIV, No.l May 1990 Arthur Hodgson The Centaur Who Left His Sheep by J.CH. Gill (All Rights Reserved) Read at a meeting of the Society on 27 Julyl989 Arthur Hodgson was the first born of the Rev. Edward Hodgson's third marriage. Edward Hodgson's first wife had died after childbirth in 1809 and though the child survived it lived for eight months only. His second wife died in similar circumstances in 1813, but this time the child, Edward Franks, survived. His third wife, whom he married in 1815, was Charlotte Pemberton of Trumpington, Cambridge and in addition to Arthur she produced five other sons and three daughters. Arthur was born at Rickmansworth vicarage on 29 June 1818 and was to enjoy a long and rewarding life although marred by tragedy in his final years.' Sent to Eton as an oppidan in 1828 he passed into college in 1830. At the age of 15 he entered the Royal Navy as a Volunteer first class and reported for duty on 21 March 1834. His first posting was to HMS Canopus which proceeded to the Mediterranean station for a three year tour of duty. On 1 February 1836 he was promoted to midshipman. Canopus returned to England in February 1837, was decommissioned and her crew paid off. Hodgson then left the Royal Navy to go up to Cambridge University.^ He was admitted as a pensioner at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge on 11 May 1837. After matriculating at Michaelmas 1837 Hodgson remained at Cambridge for four terms and then went down without graduating in 1838.^ Mr.

  • Governors Past and Served the Assembly As Queensland's First Native-Born Speaker from May 1899 Until September 1903
    Hon. Sir Arthur Morgan (12-15-12) Lieutenant Governor – 27 May 1909 to 2 Dec 1909; 16 July 1914 to 15 March 1915 TOOWONG CEMETERY Morgan was born on 19 September 1856 near Warwick, son of James Morgan and his wife Kate, née Barton. Morgan’s schooling was curtailed when his father bought the Warwick Argus in June 1868. By 18 he was manager and he became editor and proprietor of the Argus a few months before his father died in 1878. On 26 July 1880 Morgan married Alice Clinton at Warwick. Morgan entered local politics in 1885 when elected to the Warwick Municipal Council; he served as Mayor in 1886-90 and 1898. On 18 July 1887 he was elected to the Legislative Assembly for Warwick and represented this electorate until 4 April 1896 when he stood aside to allow T. J. Byrnes to pursue the premiership via the seat. Morgan regained Warwick on 2 October 1898 at the by-election after Byrnes's death Governors Past and served the assembly as Queensland's first native-born Speaker from May 1899 until September 1903. He resigned after a series of dramatic political events surrounding the defeat of the Philp government. Labor leader W. H. Browne, unable to form a government, recommended that the Governor send for Morgan. The Morgan-Browne coalition ministry was sworn in on 17 September 1903. The coalition was returned overwhelmingly in 1904. It introduced the franchise for women in State elections. Morgan relinquished the premiership, accepting the presidency of the Legislative Council from 19 January 1906 after the death of Sir Hugh Nelson.

The decade saw a flowering of Australian literature. It saw tremendous social and economic changes. Partly as a result of these changes, these years saw the rise of a new force in Australian politics - the labour movement. In some colonies, this development was overshadowed by the consolidation of a colonial liberal tradition reaching its culmination in the Deakinite liberalism of the early years of the tlommdhwealth. Developments in Queensland differed from those in the southern colonies.

  • Some Queensland Memoir Writer^
    Some Queensland Memoir Writer^. Presidential Address, by F. W. S. CUMBRAE-STEWART, B.A., B.O.L. At Annual Meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland, Friday, 30th August, 1918. Five years have passed since the inaugural meeting of this Society was held under the chairmanship of His Excellency, Sir William Macgregor, then Governor of Queensland and patron of the Society. During the time which has elapsed much history has been made, and the events which have shaken the world have not been favourable to quiet historical research, and I think that the Society must be congratulated on having maintained its existence in spite of so much that has hindered its work. Other difficulties overshadowed us. Before the first year had passed several of our members had died, and Sir William Macgregor had completed his useful and unstinted official service to the Empire. His retirement from the Governorship of Queensland removed him from us to his native;land. None of us who were privileged to be present will forget that morning when, on 15th July, 1914, he said farewell to us. Then came the war, which the wise had foretold, but the foolish ones had thought- was impossible. At one time the question of suspending the Society's operations was considered, but it was decided to carry on. When Sir Wm. Macgregor's successor arrived, he gave very ready and material help by taking the Society under his patronage. There are Others who have passed from our midst whose places we can never fill. Each year has added its toll.

Y.M. (Anne) McLay. Now - as in his lifetime - Bishop James Quinn is a controversial, and to many an unattractive, though highly significant figure of the foundation years of the Catholic Church in Queensland. My interest was aroused in discovering his true personality through my work in the history of Catholic education in this State, especially that of Mother Vincent Whitty and the first Sisters of Mercy. After several years of research I am still ambivalent towards him. I feel, however, this ambivalence is due to the paradoxes inherent in his personality rather than to any deficiency in my research. I have tried to show in this thesis the complexity of his character that these paradoxes caused. Bishop Quinn died in 1881, but the foundations of his work in Queensland were laid by 1875. To appreciate the shape of the Church that soared grandly from these foundations, to understand the conflict and the turmoil that surrounded the man and his creation, the bishop must be first seen in his original environment, Ireland and Rome.

  • A LETTER from ARTHUR HODGSON to HENRY STUART RUSSELL the Genesis of Queensland
    211 A LETTER FROM ARTHUR HODGSON TO HENRY STUART RUSSELL The Genesis of Queensland SIR ARTHUR HODGSON The Editor has received from Mr. Alec. H. Chisholm, ornithologist and historian, and a Fellow of the Society, a copy of a letter sent by Arthur Hodgson' to Henry Stuart Russell,^ which is of historic interest. It relates to the pub­ lication of Russell's book "The Genesis of Queensland."^ The letter was dated 9 March 1888. It read as foUows: Clopton House, Stratford on Avon. "My Dear Russell, "Yesterday 'The Genesis of Queensland' reached me from Sydney by parcel-post. It was a long time en route, our son Edward, manager of Eton Vale, having written to us that the book was in his possession, and received favourable reviews, had been forwarded by him to Clopton. 212 "I called last week, when in London, at several bookseUers, but they knew nothing, and at Stamford's, Charing Cross, I was told that such a book would be in great request, as Queensland, owing to its vast mineral resources, was largely in the ascendant. "I have sent them the name of the pubUsher, and to Bumper's in Oxford Street, etc., etc., and at the Colonial Institute your book was unknown. "I hope that the pubUshers have their agents in London, and that they have forwarded at least 100 copies, which I feel assured would find a very ready sale. "All this by way of introduction, and I may add that as soon as our friend RoUeston'' told me that such a book was on the stocks, I immediately (in May last) ordered two copies.

  • Highways Byways
    Highways AND Byways THE ORIGIN OF TOWNSVILLE STREET NAMES Compiled by John Mathew Townsville Library Service 1995 Revised edition 2008 Acknowledgements Australian War Memorial John Oxley Library Queensland Archives Lands Department James Cook University Library Family History Library Townsville City Council, Planning and Development Services Front Cover Photograph Queensland 1897. Flinders Street Townsville Local History Collection, Citilibraries Townsville Copyright Townsville Library Service 2008 ISBN 0 9578987 54 Page 2 Introduction How many visitors to our City have seen a street sign bearing their family name and wondered who the street was named after? How many students have come to the Library seeking the origin of their street or suburb name? We at the Townsville Library Service were not always able to find the answers and so the idea for Highways and Byways was born. Mr. John Mathew, local historian, retired Town Planner and long time Library supporter, was pressed into service to carry out the research. Since 1988 he has been steadily following leads, discarding red herrings and confirming how our streets got their names. Some remain a mystery and we would love to hear from anyone who has information to share. Where did your street get its name? Originally streets were named by the Council to honour a public figure. As the City grew, street names were and are proposed by developers, checked for duplication and approved by Department of Planning and Development Services. Many suburbs have a theme. For example the City and North Ward areas celebrate famous explorers. The streets of Hyde Park and part of Gulliver are named after London streets and English cities and counties.

    LAW AND SOCIETY ACROSS THE PACIFIC Nevada County, California, 1849 - 1860 and Gympie, Queensland, 1867 - 1880 Simon Chapple School of History and Philosophy University of New South Wales February 2010 Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 Originality Statement I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and to the best of my knowledge it contains no materials previously published or written by another person, or substantial proportions of material which have been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma at UNSW or any other educational institution, except where due acknowledgment is made in the thesis. Any contribution made to the research by others, with whom I have worked at UNSW or elsewhere, is explicitly acknowledged in the thesis. I also declare that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work, except to the extent that assistance from others in the project’s design and conception or in style, presentation and linguistic expression is acknowledged. Simon Chapple 2 ABSTRACT This thesis explores the connection between legal history and social history through an analysis of commercial, property and criminal laws, and their practical operation, in Nevada County, California from 1849 to 1860 and the Gympie region, Queensland from 1867 to 1880. By explaining the operation of a broad range of laws in a local context, this thesis seeks to provide a more complete picture of the operation of law in each community and identify the ways in which the law influenced social, political and economic life.

  • Freemasons and Freemasonry in Queensland: 1859-1989 by Dave Lauder to the Historian, Fact Must Precede Inference and Opinion
    33 Freemasons and Freemasonry in Queensland: 1859-1989 by Dave Lauder To the historian, fact must precede inference and opinion. In reading historical works of Queensland, the author has often noted incorrect statements and omissions about the Masonic ranks and details of the men who are the subject of this paper. The objective of this paper is, therefore, to provide a concise document outlining the history, structure and, more importantly, the people who have led Freemasonry in Queensland from 1859 untU the present. It is not without a feeling of deja-vu, that on reading a recent paper (Biskup, 1988) in this Journal, that the names of Sir Arthur Morgan, J.F.G. Foxton, John Oxley, WUUam Jolly and Sir Leslie WUson aU appeared — and all are instantly recognisable to a Masonic historian as Freemasons. Whilst a lot of detail covered in this paper is available in Richards (1959), that work is scanty on detail of Scottish Freemasonry, as the relevant records were missing at the time of Richards' compUation. Irish and EngUsh Freemasomy in Queensland have been well documented in Harley (c.l930) and Fowles and White (1909) respectively. Freemasonry may be simply described as a fraternal association of men, based on the principles of brotherly love, relief and truth. Membership in Australia is open to all men who profess a belief in a Supreme Being and are of good character. Contrary to a popular urban myth, and on the basis of the above definition, the association is not anti-Catholic. However, the existence of atheist forms of Freemasonry in Europe provoked the hostility of the Roman Catholic Church from 1738.

  • The Langs in Queensland 1858-65: an Unwritten Chapter Denis Cryle Presented at a Meeting of the Society 21 May 1987
    The Langs in Queensland 1858-65: An Unwritten Chapter Denis Cryle Presented at a meeting of the Society 21 May 1987 The history of nineteenth century Queensland journals and journalists has been a longstanding preoccupation of this Society. Details of newspaper proprietors and printers have been assiduously compiled by such leading Society members as Alfred Davies' and Clem Lack,^ while, in more recent years. Rod Kirkpatrick and James Manion have contributed addresses on the same subject.^ In a carefully researched paper, Kirkpatrick paid tribute to the work of former Society President, Alan Arthur Morrison, explaining how he had set out to amplify Morrison's suggestive analysis of Queensland provincial journalism. In spite of the wealth of detail which both Kirkpatrick and Marion have provided, Morrison's noteworthy attempt to compile a comprehensive social history of colonial Queensland, using the press as a vantage point, has still to be fully developed. In keeping with Morrison's preoccupations," this address will focus on the formative 1860's, with special reference to the Lang family. Preoccupied with details of newspaper production and personnel, most researchers have neglected to study the role by influential con­ tributors in nineteenth century journalism. Operating on a free-lance rather than routine basis, articulate writers used the colonial press to agitate a range of important issues. One of the most prolific con­ tributors during the mid nineteenth century was John Dunmore Lang, author of Cooksland (1847) and architect of controversial immigration ventures to Moreton Bay (1848-49). Lang's colonial reputation owed much to his prodigious newspaper correspondence, most of which was informative rather than merely personal or defamatory.
