Borchardt and bibliography
This article reviews aspects of DH Borchardt's practice as bibliographer of official publications and his contribution to the study of the field of bibliography in Australia. A brief discussion of the problems of preparing annotated bibliographies is followed by an analysis of some of the later entries in Borchardt's multi-volume checklists of Australian royal commissions, boards of inquiry and select committees of parliament
Written in Characters of Blood? The Reign of King Cetshwayo Ka Mpande 1872–9
Sir Bartle Frere, the British High Commissioner in South Africa 1877–80, depicted Cetshwayo ka Mpande, the Zulu king 1872–9, as a bloodthirsty monster. This article discusses the accuracy and justice of this depiction, and the nature of Zulu kingship. It shows that both Frere and the missionaries on whom he relied for evidence wished to bring the Zulu kingdom under British rule and thus had a strong motive for discrediting Cetshwayo. The fact tha…

Strategic and Socio-Economic Explanations for Carnarvon's South African Confederation Policy: The Historiography and the Evidence
Although Carnarvon's attempt to unite South Africa in the 1870s was a failure, the forward movement represented by his “confederation policy” marks an important turning point in South African history. The destruction of the Zulu and the Pedi polities, which resulted directly from the confederation scheme, together with the last Cape frontier war and a rash of smaller conflicts, constituted the virtual end of organized black resistance in the nine…
