Having arrived with his parents from Ireland in New South Wales in
1840 as a 'bounty emigrant', the young Roderick Flanagan (1828-62)
quickly developed a passionate interest in his adopted country.
Following an apprenticeship with a city printer, the educated and
astute Flanagan worked for a number of Australia's early
newspapers, including Melbourne's Daily News and the Sydney Morning
Herald, where he acquired his distinctive, journalistic approach to
history. Published shortly after his early death in London in 1862,
Flanagan's two-volume chronicle of New South Wales represents a
lifetime of research, and demonstrates the author's balanced and
unpartisan approach to politics. Picking up the narrative in 1838,
Volume 2 covers the campaign for the discontinuation of criminal
transportation, the origin of the Elected Council, and the
political and social character of neighbouring New Zealand. This
volume concludes with appendices on the economic, geographic and
agricultural status of the colony.
