On the 28th June 1790 a Lieutenant Macarthur arrived in the HM “Scarborough” as a member of the New South Wales Corps, a unit specially recruited, to replace the Marines, which had arrived with the first fleet. It was the 13th February 1792, almost two years later, before Richard Atkins arrived on the transport ‘Pitt’. Both men were destined to play leading roles in early colonial history and from the beginning there was obvious hostility between the two, culminating in the 1808 rebellion with the associated deposing of the Governor. Compiled after several years’ research, covers the period from 1788 up to and including Col.Johnston’s Court Martial and attempts to draw the reader’s attention, to the various misinterpretations by early historians and writers concerning both Richard Atkins and John Macarthur and their roles in the founding of this country. In particular, it refutes long-held beliefs concerning both men. Research for this book has revealed that many of the writings of the past are inaccurate thus giving a misleading view of the events of the period. Most early writers have neglected to portray negative material readily available in the Historical Records of NSW concerning Macarthur; indeed the editor of the HRNSW has shown a definite bias in his interpretation which favors Macarthur but ignores much of what he himself collated. Colonial Conflicts endeavors to relate a more accurate picture of the events of those times while relying heavily on quotations from the period.

During the late eighteenth century, a musical–cultural phenomenon swept the globe. The English square piano—invented in the early 1760s by an entrepreneurial German guitar maker in London—not only became an indispensable part of social life, but also inspired the creation of an expressive and scintillating repertoire. Square pianos reinforced music as life’s counterpoint, and were played by royalty, by musicians of the highest calibre and by aspiring amateurs alike. On Sunday, 13 May 1787, a square piano departed from Portsmouth on board the Sirius, the flagship of the First Fleet, bound for Botany Bay. Who made the First Fleet piano, and when was it made? Who owned it? Who played it, and who listened? What music did the instrument sound out, and within what contexts was its voice heard? What became of the First Fleet piano after its arrival on antipodean soil, and who played a part in the instrument’s subsequent history? Two extant instruments contend for the title ‘First Fleet piano’; which of these made the epic journey to Botany Bay in 1787–88? The First Fleet Piano: A Musician’s View answers these questions, and provides tantalising glimpses of social and cultural life both in Georgian England and in the early colony at Sydney Cove. The First Fleet piano is placed within the musical and social contexts for which it was created, and narratives of the individuals whose lives have been touched by the instrument are woven together into an account of the First Fleet piano’s conjunction with the forces of history. View ‘The First Fleet Piano: Volume Two Appendices’. Note: Volume 1 and 2 are sold as a set ($180 for both) and cannot be purchased separately.

This series explains the many important aspects of the colonial Economy of N.S.W. between 1788 and 1835. This present volume sets down over 14 essays on aspects of the colonial economy, ranging from a short review of the Van Diemen's Land Company - the second land grant coy in Australia - the AAC being the first, to a study of the writings of Professor Noel Butlin and the factors of economic growth in those important first 30 years of the colony and settlement in NSW. Some notable essays include an understanding of the Macquarie years that set a standard for economic development that became hard to follow. The many statutes enacted by Westminster Parliament in establishing the colony are examined as is the rise of the pastoralist and squatter in the colony. These entire special features of the economy helped set up the economic drivers that created such a successful economy.
