Sack the bastard!’ — ‘David Kent, (the now vilest man alive)’
The title of this Note - 'Sack the Bastard' - 'David Kent, (the now vilest man alive)' - is made up of two quotations from letters provoked by something I researched and wrote over thirty years ago. The first was a demand addressed to the Dean of Arts from someone who felt that, given my views, I should not be allowed to teach impressionable young minds at the University of New England. The second replaced the more conventional 'Dear Mr Kent' in …
Denis Wright (1947–2013)
It will be very sad news for his many friends and colleagues in the South Asian Studies Association of Australia (SASA) to learn that Dr. Denis Wright, another stalwart of the Association, died in Armidale on 7 December. Denis was one of those rare academics who shunned the limelight and was prepared to work tirelessly and unheralded behind the scenes as a productive scholar, highly-rated teacher and valuable colleague. It is therefore fitting th…
Containing disorder in the ‘Age of Equipoise’
Historians of nineteenth-century Britain often note the contrast between the tumult and turmoil of the first half of the century and the relative calm and stability of the second, especially in the third quarter. It is a dramatic but justifiable contrast. After mid-century there were no major outbreaks of civil disorder to match the political agitation of popular radicalism between 1815 and 1832 and Chartism after 1837, nor were there any industr…
‘Objectionable Ornaments and Decorations’
In the third quarter of the nineteenth century the High and Low Church wings of the Church of England were bitterly divided over the use of religious ritual. A legacy of the Oxford Movement and the Gothic Revival, Anglican ritualism in practice was most obviously manifested in liturgical forms, eucharistic vestments, church furniture, religious decoration, church design and the use of sacred space. For nearly 18 months services at St George-in-th…

Some Aspects of Colonial Marriage
One of the most important hut least understood aspects of colonial society was the process of marriage involving the lower ranks. Legal marriage was the only officially recognised form of cohabitation. Those who were free were subject to the same scrutiny as convicts if they were marrying a convict or ticket-of-leave holder. Common-law relationships were not common and usually arose because of a woman's marriage in the colony. Women who usually h…

The convicts transported to Australia were probably the best documented working-class citizens of the nineteenth-century British empire. From indictment to eventual freedom, a convict's progress was meticulously recorded. Of all the material in this paper trail, the indent produced for each vessel on its arrival in the colony has proved the most useful. For each named individual the indent detailed, across a double-page, their age, literacy, reli…

Small Businessmen and their Credit Transactions in Early Nineteenth-Century Britain
This article uses a little known body of material, which was generated by the operation of the Insolvent Debtors Courts, to examine the business practices of artisans, shopkeepers, publicans and other small businessmen. It is suggested that the experience of these business failures sheds some light on the dealings of that myriad of small businessmen who nourished the demand side of the economy during the Industrial Revolution. The ubiquity of cre…

From the Sudan to Saigon
War has been one of the dominating features of Australian history since Federation. Australia has been involved in more major conflicts for more years than any other modern industrial nation. Furthermore. Australian governments have consistently shown a willingness, even an enthusiasm, to send their citizens far overseas to fight in wars which seemed to have little bearing on domestic security. Only in meeting the Japanese threat during the Secon…
