THE BASIC MATERIAL for this study was collected by Dr A. W. Martin while working on his thesis ‘Political Groupings in New South Wales, 187 2 1889 at this University and was later extended with the help of Dr Jean I. Martin to cover the whole period from the beginning of responsible government to federa­ tion. An analysis based on this material was published by Dr Martin in the Australian Journal of Politics and History, vol. II, pt. i (November 1956). Dr Martin s notes were then checked and added to by Mrs P. Wardle, Research Assistant in the Department of History, who in particular, examined the obituary notices in almost all cases, references to these having been supplied by courtesy of the Clerk of Parliaments of New South Wales- Mrs Wardle was also responsible for reducing the entries to a standard form. The whole work has been carried out under my direction as part of a wider project for the collection and recording of Australian biographical material by the Department of History. The entries have been arranged, so far as the material avail­ able allows, in a uniform pattern. After the name, constitu encies and dates of election within the period 1856 1900* comes the personal identification - occupation when first elected (necessarily a somewhat arbitrary classification), place and date of birth, parentage marriage,and place and date of death, the latter being given in full to facilitate further search for obituaries. Then comes a condensed account of the subject s extra-parliamentary career and associations. The next paragraph lists ministerial and parliamentary offices and also membership of state or federal parliaments outside the main period or in

v VI Foreword other States. Then publications so far as these have come to notice without exhaustive search are listed and finally refer ences are given to the sources used, except for men included in Serie s Dictionary of Australian Biography, for whom only sources additional to those given by Serie are listed. Since the aim was to illustrate the background of politics rather than to produce a political history, and since political al­ legiances during most of the period were too nebulous and shif­ ting to admit of concise definition, no attempt has been made to include the strictly political attitudes of the subjects. The work contains altogether 690 biographies, affording, apart from their political interest, a very complete cross-section of colonial society, or at any rate of the more successful elements in it in the second half of the nineteenth century though the actual time-span is over a century longer, from the earliest birth in 1797 to the latest death in 1953. Of its nature, such a work as this must be for the most part a compilation, making no claim to research in original documents. The main sources have been reference books and newspapers, and especially the obituary notices of the Sydney Morning Her

Finally I should like on behalf of the Department and of the authors to thank all those both in Canberra and in Sydney, who have generously contributed information to make the work more complete- the Clerk of Parliaments and the custodians of the Commonwealth National Library, the Public Library of New South Wales, and the Mitchell Library for access to material in their charge; and the staff of the Publications Committee of the Australian National University and Mrs Seymour of the History Department for their patient and skilful help with the difficult task of physical production.
