The Anglo-Irish and the Historians, 1830–1980
Who were the Anglo-Irish? According to Professor J. C. Beckett ‘It is essentially a historian’s term’: Grattan and his Protestant contemporaries never doubted that they were Irishmen, without any qualifications.... But by the time of Grattan’s death, in 1820, a shift of opinion was already evident; and it became more sharply marked during the next generation. The change was noted by one of the powerful Beresford family, which had dominated much o…

The People of Perth
It was scarcely surprising there that Captain Stirling chose as the capital of the new settlement a site midway between the known limits of likely agricultural development and the harbour town of Fremantle, and on the colony's first commercial line, the Swan River itself. Western Australia was founded as a colony of individual private enterprise, and all early decisions concerning it, including the siting of the capital, reflected and embodied th…

Unemployment and Politics in Western Australia
Historians have reached a rare unanimity about the impact of the 1929-33 depression on Australians. 'The depression experience,' writes R?ssel Ward, 'left a deep and perhaps permanent impression on Aus tralian attitudes. The spectacle of such widespread involuntary un employment, and even of actual undernourishment, in Australia . . . was not forgotten.'1 A. G. L. Shaw echoes him: 'The experience of the depression certainly burned deeply into the…

The Founding of the Second British Empire
n many respects a masterpiece',2 wrote Richard Pares of the first volume of The Founding of the Second British Empire. It was certainly a work which profoundly influenced all scholars working in the field of British colonial policy. Professor Harlow was first concerned to explode the common view which saw the American Revolution as a great watershed in British colonial history. This was a view which sliced colonial developments into neat compartm…
