(FS-Mission, Australien, U1, o. Nr.) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Th is book was born as a doctoral thesis in the School of History at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and has grown into its current shape—in somewhat of a reverse of many of the subjects of this book— whilst I have been living in Germany and working as a postdoctoral fellow at the Exzellenzcluster: Religion und Politik at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Germany. I owe a great deal of thanks to those people who were there as the thesis was being conceived, written, and passed. My primary supervi- sor, Professor Patricia Grimshaw, never failed to amaze me with her generosity of time and blue pen, and Professor Kate Darian-Smith, as my secondary supervisor, was a wonderful source of sound advice. My colleagues in the School of History are also to be thanked for provided a supporting and challenging environment. Th e research would never have been as rich had it not have been for the generous funding I received from a number of sources. For my extensive overseas research I was fortunate to receive multiple scholar- ships, which allowed me to travel to archives in the United States of America, Britain, and Germany. Th is was made possible by the gener- ous funds from the Alma Hansen Scholarship fund, the Lizette Bentwitch Scholarship fund, and awards from the University of Melbourne Scholar ships Offi ce, including a TRIPS award and a PORES award. My extended research in Germany was made possible through a substantial grant from the Deutsche Akademische Austausch Dienst (DAAD), for which I will be forever grateful. Finally, I am thankful to the Ian Robertson Travel Fund Scholarship, 2007, which allowed me to travel to Canberra to undertake research on Hagenauer’s Letter-books. Th roughout these journeys to diff erent lands and various archives I have received the support from archivists, librarians and fellow researchers. My thanks is particularly extended, in chronological order, to: Vernon Nelson and June Lacke of the Moravian Archives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Lorraine Parson, Archivist at the Moravian Church Archives and Library in Moravian Church House, London; the staff of the Unitätsarchiv in Herrnhut, in particular Paul Peucker who moved from the Unitätsarchiv, Herrnhut, to the Moravian Archives, Pennsylvania during my research; Rüdiger Kröger from the x acknowledgements Unitätsarchiv, Herrnhut, and Lanie Graf of the Moravian Archives, Pennsylvania. My most sincere thanks goes to: Ann Jensz, Jen Makin, Jane Sampson, Anja Schwarz, Christine Winter. I also thank the many scholars with whom I have had interesting, and illuminating conversations, as well as all those at Brill. Any shortcomings of the text, although not inten- tional, remain however mine alone. Th ere are, of course, many other people who have helped and sup- ported me through this venture, including my loving family and friends. I am humbled by all that you have given. Th e person who deserves gratitude of an unequalled magnitude is Mark. Th ank you.

  • The Origins and Development of Financial Markets and Institutions: from the Seventeenth Century to the Present
    This page intentionally left blank The Origins and Development of Financial Markets and Institutions Collectively, mankind has never had it so good despite periodic economic crises of which the current sub-prime crisis is merely the latest example. Much of this success is attributable to the increasing efficiency of the world’s financial institutions as finance has proved to be one of the most important causal factors in economic performance. In a series of original essays, leading financial and economic historians examine how financial innovations from the seventeenth century to the present have continually challenged established institutional arr- angements forcing change and adaptation by governments, financial intermediaries, and financial markets. Where these have been success- ful, wealth creation and growth have followed. When they failed, growth slowed and sometimes economic decline has followed. These essays illustrate the difficulties of coordinating financial innovations in order to sustain their benefits for the wider economy, a theme that will be of interest to policy makers as well as economic historians. JEREMY ATACK is Professor of Economics and Professor of History at Vanderbilt University. He is also a research associate with the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and has served as co-editor of the Journal of Economic History. He is co-author of A New Economic View of American History (1994). LARRY NEAL is Emeritus Professor of Economics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he was founding director of the European Union Center.

  • When the Periphery Became More Central: from Colonial Pact to Liberal Nationalism in Brazil and Mexico, 1800-1914 Steven Topik
    When the Periphery Became More Central: From Colonial Pact to Liberal Nationalism in Brazil and Mexico, 1800-1914 Steven Topik Introduction The Global Economic History Network has concentrated on examining the “Great Divergence” between Europe and Asia, but recognizes that the Americas also played a major role in the development of the world economy. Ken Pomeranz noted, as had Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and Karl Marx before him, the role of the Americas in supplying the silver and gold that Europeans used to purchase Asian luxury goods.1 Smith wrote about the great importance of colonies2. Marx and Engels, writing almost a century later, noted: "The discovery of America, the rounding of the Cape, opened up fresh ground for the rising bourgeoisie. The East-Indian and Chinese markets, the colonisation of America [north and south] trade with the colonies, ... gave to commerce, to navigation, to industry, an impulse never before known. "3 Many students of the world economy date the beginning of the world economy from the European “discovery” or “encounter” of the “New World”) 4 1 Ken Pomeranz, The Great Divergence , Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2000:264- 285) 2 Adam Smith in An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776, rpt. Regnery Publishing, Washington DC, 1998) noted (p. 643) “The colony of a civilized nation which takes possession, either of a waste country or of one so thinly inhabited, that the natives easily give place to the new settlers, advances more rapidly to wealth and greatness than any other human society.” The Americas by supplying silver and “by opening a new and inexhaustible market to all the commodities of Europe, it gave occasion to new divisions of labour and improvements of art….The productive power of labour was improved.” p.

  • 'The Happiest Time of My Life …': Emotive Visitor Books and Early
    ‘The happiest time of my life …’: Emotive visitor books and early mission tourism to Victoria’s Aboriginal reserves1 Nikita Vanderbyl On the afternoon of 16 January 1895, a group of visitors to the Gippsland Lakes, Victoria, gathered to perform songs and hymns with the Aboriginal residents of Lake Tyers Aboriginal Mission. Several visitors from the nearby Lake Tyers House assisted with the preparations and an audience of Aboriginal mission residents and visitors spent a pleasant summer evening performing together and enjoying refreshments. The ‘program’ included an opening hymn by ‘the Aborigines’ followed by songs and hymns sung by friends of the mission, the missionary’s daughter and a duet by two Aboriginal women, Mrs E. O’Rourke and Mrs Jennings, who in particular received hearty applause for their performance of ‘Weary Gleaner’. The success of this shared performance is recorded by an anonymous hand in the Lake Tyers visitor book, noting that 9 pounds 6 shillings was collected from the enthusiastic audience.2 The missionary’s wife, Caroline Bulmer, was most likely responsible for this note celebrating the success of an event that stands out among the comments of visitors to Lake Tyers. One such visitor was a woman named Miss Florrie Powell who performed the song ‘The Old Countess’ after the duet by Mrs O’Rourke and Mrs Jennings. She wrote effusively in the visitor book that ‘to give you an idea 1 Florrie Powell 18 January 1895, Lake Tyers visitor book, MS 11934 Box 2478/5, State Library of Victoria.

MCMULLEN Emeritus Professor, Australian Catholic University, Fitzroy, Victoria 3065 Australia Correspondence: Gabrielle McMullen, [email protected] ABSTRACT: Jacob Braché (1827‒1905) arrived in Melbourne in 1853, two years into the Victorian gold rush, and soon became a significant figure in local mining circles. For almost fifty years, he contributed actively to mining endeavours — during periods as a civil servant, in numerous mining enterprises, and as a consulting mining engineer. Following a summary of Braché’s contributions in Victoria, this paper focuses on his education and experience prior to emigrating to the Colony, looking at the expertise that he brought to his colonial roles. It concludes with insights into why this ‘talented young German’ was a controversial figure over his half century of professional life inAustralia.
