An autobiography; or, Tales and legends of Canberra pioneers »
Publication date: 1967
In 1856, at the age of six, Samuel Shumack came to the Duntroon Estate in Canberra. He farmed in the district until 1915. Forced by injury to retire from active farming, Shumack, at the age of 59, began to record his memories of old Canberra. He was an acute and accurate observer. His stories move freely from one episode to the next. The text is enhanced by eight colour plates by artist Gray Smith. This fascinating book will be treasured by all who have an interest in Canberra's history.

Fragments of empire: a history of the western Pacific High Commission, 1877-1914 »
Publication date: 1967
During the nineteenth century Britain{u2019}s overseas administrative responsibilities related not only to her major colonial dependencies but also to a multitude of small territories and islands, whither her citizens were drawn by evangelism or the lure of trade. Pre-eminent among such areas were the Western Pacific islands, where Britons seeking to collect copra, grow cotton, and recruit labourers for plantations in Fiji and Queensland constituted a problem in law and order. In 1877 the Governor of the recently ceded Crown Colony of Fiji was appointed High Commissioner and Consul-General; his duties included the control of the operations of his own nationals as well as treating with and advising the embryonic native governments of Samoa and Tonga. The present book is largely concerned with the various High Commissioners{u2019} efforts to carry out their difficult task, made more difficult by inadequate financial resources. The author has looked at the local scene in detail: the fluid socio-political system of Samoa, the rigid hierarchical structure of Tonga, the relations between islanders, traders, recruiters, and planters in the New Hebrides, Solomon, and Gilbert Islands. This well-documented study reflects the author{u2019}s thorough acquaintance with local conditions and with the intricacies of imperial policy which should be of great value to the scholar, while the colourful nature of the subject and the vigorous way the story of the islands is unfolded will appeal greatly to the general reader.
Island populations of the Pacific »
Publication date: 1967
Throughout the nineteenth century there were many, including scholars, who believed that the peoples of Polynesia were doomed to extinction. The reasons suggested for the supposedly dramatic declines in population numbers were many and varied, but few authors questioned the reality of the declines or their universality. In this book a demographer reappraises the basic estimates and counts of some of these populations, setting them in the context of contemporary knowledge and events, in an attempt to trace the demographic fortunes of these island populations in the years before 1956, the year in which censuses were taken simultaneously and more or less uniformly for all but one of these island groups. The book contains much new and hitherto unpublished material, gleaned from such diverse sources as the letters and journals of missionaries in the nineteenth century and contemporary registers of births and deaths. Not only is it an important work of reference for all scholars concerned with these island populations but it is of value to anyone interested in the history or future development of these islands.
