Mutiny on the Black Prince
Proscription by Degrees
In this book, Kenneth Morgan provides the most comprehensive account of the abolition of the slave trade to the United States since W. E. B. Du Bois's 1896 The Suppression of the African Slave Trade to the United States of America, 1638–1870. Utilising a wider range of resources and exploring the economic, social, moral and political considerations, Morgan creates a multi-layered account that explains why abolition was a protracted affair that pr…
Edward Long's observations on Jamaican slavery and British slave trade abolition
This note presents for the first time material on Edward Long's views on Jamaican enslavement and British slave trade abolition in 1804. His letter of that year, deposited at the William Salt Library, Stafford, shows that in old age he adapted his position from being an ardent slave trade supporter to a stance where ending the slave trade could be accepted. Long emphasized that, in circumstances where slave revolt and Jamaica's security were conc…
The Creation of the ABC Studio Orchestras, 1935–1945
This article analyses the creation of studio orchestras by the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) as part of a policy of musical federalization. The orchestras were created in the decade after 1935 in all six Australian states, and later expanded to form state symphony orchestras for radio broadcasting and for public performances in concerts. The article argues that the combined effort of a group of men appointed to managerial and controlle…
The Natural, Moral, and Political History of Jamaica, and the Territories thereon Depending
Historians of Jamaica have two main printed sources originally written before 1800 that provide a comprehensive guide to the society, economy, politics, and institutions of Britain's largest slaveholding island and colony.First and foremost is Edward Long's The History of Jamaica or, A General Survey of the Antient and Modern State of that Island (1774), a widely consulted three-volume work that has been reprinted in two modern editions over the …
Reconstructing the Landscapes of Slavery
Navigating the Great Barrier Reef
This article examines naval surveying voyages undertaken between 1815 and 1860 by Phillip Parker King, Francis Price Blackwood, Owen Stanley and Henry Mangles Denham to discuss the improvements to the navigation of the Inner and Outer shipping routes along the Great Barrier Reef. The Inner Route lay between Australia’s east coast and the western edge of the reefs while the Outer Route was situated in open sea beyond the eastern edge of the reefs.…
The British Transatlantic Slave Trade
Peopling a new colony
This article analyses the first years of the land order system of immigration that dominated Queensland's settlement as a colony. Queensland issued land orders worth £30 per adult to fare-paying British and Irish immigrants who were mechanics, agriculturalists and people with modest amounts of capital. This form of immigration was facilitated through the work of an Emigration Commissioner - later an Agent-General - based in the British Isles. Hen…
Selling Queensland
This article analyses the work of Richard Daintree as Agent-General for Emigration from the United Kingdom to Queensland when he held that role between 1872 and 1876. Daintree designed exhibitions in London to attract emigrants, placed advertisements in newspapers, wrote a guide to Queensland’s resources, liaised with shipping companies for passenger berths, lectured in the provinces to potential emigrants, and cooperated with emigration sub-agen…
Promoting high culture
This article analyses the musical work of the Brisbane Musical Union (BMU) between its founding in 1872 and the consolidation of its position by 1898. During this period, the BMU benefited from the dedicated leadership of its main conductor, R. T. Jefferies, who drew upon his high standing as a violinist, ensemble player and conductor in Brisbane to present regular choral concerts, mainly comprising oratorios, with an amateur choir. Despite finan…

Matthew Flinders and the Charting of Australia’s Coasts, 1798–1814
This article argues that the connections between the maritime explorer Matthew Flinders, the hydrographer Alexander Dalrymple, the mapmaker Aaron Arrowsmith, and the President of the Royal Society, Sir Joseph Banks, were crucial for improved knowledge about Australia’s coastal geography and cartography in the early nineteenth century. It also explains how geographical knowledge of Australia was advanced by the techniques followed by these individ…
Sharla M. Fett. Recaptured Africans
The historical context for Recaptured Africans: Surviving Slave Ships, Detention, and Dislocation in the Final Years of the Slave Trade lies in the activities of American ships patrolling the Atlantic Ocean to search for illegal shipments of enslaved Africans after the banning of the slave trade to the United States in 1808. From that date until 1819, “recaptives”—the label the author prefers to “liberated Africans”—were subject to the jurisdicti…
A Historical Myth? Matthew Flinders and the Quest for a Strait
This article takes issue with a recent argument, made by the late Rupert Gerritsen, that Matthew Flinders deliberately concocted a myth about a north–south strait dividing Australia in order to gain the attention and patronage of Sir Joseph Banks to support the first circumnavigation of Terra Australis in HMS Investigator in 1801–3. This article argues that Flinders did not create a myth but based his arguments on contemporary views that such a d…
Finding longitude
This article analyses the methods deployed for finding longitude on the Investigator’s expedition to circumnavigate Australia, made under the command of Matthew Flinders in the period 1801–1803. Timekeeping and astronomy were complementary methods for ascertaining longitude; they were carried out using chronometers and by taking lunar observations. The article explains who was responsible for handling the astronomical readings on the expedition; …

The making of a maritime explorer
This article examines the early career of Matthew Flinders (1774–1814) to determine the ways in which his training as a navigator, hydrographer and cartographer prepared him for undertaking the first circumnavigation of Australia in the Investigator between 1801 and 1803. Two main questions are answered in relation to this theme. First, why was such a young naval officer as Flinders (he was 26) selected to lead such an important voyage of discove…
A Short History of Transatlantic Slavery
From 1501, when the first slaves arrived in Hispaniola, until the nineteenth century, some twelve million people were abducted from West Africa and shipped across thousands of miles of ocean – the infamous Middle Passage – to work in the colonies of the New World. Perhaps two million Africans died at sea. Why was slavery so widely condoned, during most of this period, by leading lawyers, religious leaders, politicians and philosophers? How was it…
Merchant networks, the guarantee system and the British slave trade to Jamaica in the 1790s
This paper contributes to the literature on payments for slave sales in the later phase of the British slave trade. It analyses the procedures used in the ‘guarantee’ system in \ntransatlantic slaving whereby merchants in British ports forged close connections with African factors in British America and with British businessmen who guaranteed to \npay the factors’ bills presented as payments for slave sales. This was an important institutional pr…
From Cook to Flinders
This article offers the first published appraisal of the attempts by navigators to find a safe passage through Torres Strait, a notoriously difficult sea channel for sailing vessels. Securing such a passage was important for the timing and viability of commercial and naval ships following this route from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean. Luis Vaez de Torres’ traversal of the strait that bears his name was kept secret for over a century and a half …
A New World of Labor
Music, Finance, and Politics
This paper examines the musical, financial, and political difficulties that beset Henri Verbrugghen's attempts to establish a permanent professional orchestra in New South Wales between 1919 and 1923. Appointed as the founding Director of the New South Wales Conservatorium of Music in 1915, Verbrugghen established a Conservatorium Orchestra in 1916 and then, with government financial support, a State Orchestra in 1919. This was the first permanen…
Sir Joseph Banks as patron of the Investigator expedition
This paper analyses the ways in which Sir Joseph Banks served as an informed and energetic patron for the preparations for the Investigator’s expedition, and for the dissemination of its scientific and geographical knowledge. This was the first voyage to circumnavigate Australia, under the command of Matthew Flinders. Banks was an essential facilitator for Flinders’ ambitions: he drew up plans to promote the voyage and mustered the support of rel…
Slavery and the British Empire
Slavery and the British Empire provides a clear overview of the entire history of British involvement with slavery and the slave trade, from the Cape Colony to the Caribbean. The book combines economic, social, political, cultural, and demographic history, with a particular focus on the Atlantic world and the plantations of North America and the West Indies from the mid-seventeenth century onwards. Kenneth Morgan analyses the distribution of slav…
Bristol and the Atlantic Trade in the Eighteenth Century
This book offers the first detailed examination for many years of the transatlantic trade and shipping of Bristol during the eighteenth century. It compares the performance of Bristol as a port during this period with the growth of other outports, especially Liverpool and Glasgow. Dr Morgan's analysis shows that the absolute growth of Bristol's Atlantic trade between 1700 and 1800 was concomitant with the relative decline of Bristol as a port. Th…
The Organization of the Convict Trade to Maryland
T THE shipping of convicts from Great Britain to the American colonies is a significant yet insufficiently examined aspect of eighteenth-century transatlantic trade. Convict transportation, modestly begun in the seventeenth century, was regulated by the parliamentary statute of I7I7 entitled An Act for the further preventing robbery, burglary, and other felonies, and for the more effectual transportation of felons . .. , 1 which overhauled the cr…
Remittance Procedures in the Eighteenth-Century British Slave Trade
This article considers the changing nature of remittance procedures in the eighteenth-century British slave trade. It explains why bills of exchange became the preferred form of making payment for slave sales, rather than specie or produce. It also indicates the legal and institutional practices that informed the circulation of bills of exchange in a notoriously risky form of long-distance trade. The growth and complexity of the British slave tra…
Slave Women and Reproduction in Jamaica, c .1776–1834
This article explains the failure of the Jamaica slaves to reproduce naturally in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It argues that the explanation for the failure stemmed from dietary inadequacies and the harsh working routines of sugar cultivation, which compounded epidemiological and whatever social, cultural and political factors may have motivated Jamaican slave women concerning their own reproductive capabilities
James Rogers and the Bristol slave trade
This article examines the business failure of James Rogers, a large Bristol slave trader, within the context of the operation of the late British slave trade in west Africa, on the Middle Passage, and in the Caribbean. Based on a large cache of surviving manuscripts, the article shows that the credit crisis of 1793 led to the demise of Rogers's mercantile career but also that his business collapse stemmed from over-extending his slave trading act…

Bristol West India Merchants in the Eighteenth Century
On the north wall of the cloisters in Bristol Cathedral there is a small headstone ‘Sacred to the Memory of Thomas Daniel Esq ... a respectable Merchant of this City who was born in Barbados on the 14th March 1730 and departed this life on the 23rd February 1802.’ In the north transept, on a floor marble over the family vault, another inscription to the same man can be found. Thomas Daniel Sr, as he was known, came from a mercantile family that h…
Convict Runaways in Maryland, 1745–1775
That the newspaper press in the eighteenth-century Chesapeake colonies was chock-full of advertisements for runaway convicts is a clear indication of the significance of transportation to America in that period. The existence of convicts in Virginia and Maryland stemmed from the provisions of the Transportation Act passed by the British parliament in 1718. This stated that felons found guilty of non-capital crimes against property could be transp…

The Organization of the Colonial American Rice Trade
T THOUGH scholarly discussion has enhanced understanding of the colonial Chesapeake tobacco and West Indian sugar trades, the rice trade of the Lower South has received less attention. Yet rice, grown by slaves in irrigated inland and tidal swamps, was the major cash crop exported from the coastal lowland of South Carolina and Georgia during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Despite periodic slumps, especially in wartime, rice exports from…

Clan Groups and Clan Exogamy among the Navajo
The existence of invariant clan groups among the Navajo is challenged by the results of statistical analysis of Reichard's 1925 data. There is no statistically significant effect of clan-group exogamy after accounting for clan exogamy in samples of Navajo marriages. It can be explained why the putatively invariant clan groups will not comprise a significant exogamous division in Navajo marriage exchange. The clan group is reinterpreted as a dynam…
