"The Felonry of New South Wales" is the work of eighteenth century Scottish-born free settler of Australia, James Mudie. After a string of bad experiences in England, including dismissal from the military, Mudie was given the opportunity for a new life when Scottish nobleman, Sir Charles Forbes offered him and his four children free passage to New South Wales, Australia. There he grew to become a successful land owner and was appointed a Justice of the peace. This appointment, however, proved to be quite controversial as he gained a reputation for being particularly severe in his judgments, and flogging criminals and convicts excessively, even for minor offences. His dismissal from the post as a result of this, and its subsequent events are thus the subject of this book in which he seeks to justify his methods.
James Fenton (1820-1901) was born in Ireland and emigrated to Tasmania (then known as Van Diemen's Land) with his family in 1833. He became a pioneer settler in an area on the Forth River and published this history of the island in 1884. The book begins with the discovery of the island in 1642 and concludes with the deaths of some significant public figures in the colony in 1884. The establishment of the colony on the island, and the involvement of convicts in its building, is documented. A chapter on the native aborigines gives a fascinating insight into the attitudes of the colonising people, and a detailed account of the removal of the native Tasmanians to Flinders Island, in an effort to separate them from the colonists. The book also contains portraits of some aboriginal people, as well as a glossary of their language.
