Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "My Lords, The several Goals and Places for the Confinement of Felons in this Kingdom being in so crouded a State . I . signify to your Lordships His Majesty's Pleasure, that you do forthwith take such Measures as may be necessary for providing a proper number of vessels for the conveyance of 750 Convicts to Botany Bay, together with such Provisions, necessaries and Implements for agriculture as may be requisite for their use after their arrival . " When the British Cabinet accepted his recommendation that convicts be sent to Botany Bay, Lord Sydney-Thomas Townshend-instructed the Treasury 'forthwith' to provide for the First Fleet. A John Bull figure, full of bumptious ambition and self-confidence, 'Tommy' Townshend spent most of his working life in parliamentary opposition. He sympathised with the American colonists while holding true to British interests, and was made a peer in 1783 for his key role in settling the peace between Americans and Britons. Among other things, he saw to it that Canada's boundary with the United States was drawn through the Great Lakes, not further north, as the Americans had demanded. Townshend chose the name Sydney for his barony in memory of his distant uncle Algernon Sidney, who had been beheaded in 1683 for writing 'the people of England.may change or take away kings'. As a cabinet minister, though, he was measured and capable, displaying 'the rare faculty of perceiving intuitively, the latent powers in the men with whom he came in contact'. His choices of Henry Strachey to negotiate the peace with America and Arthur Phillip to lead Australia's first European settlement were inspired. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hard cover dust wrapper, 309pp, b&w plates and photos. A little wear on edges, half title clipped else very good+ In August 1940, Australia had been at war for almost a year when a Hudson bomber, A16-97, carrying ten people, including three cabinet ministers, crashed into a ridge near Canberra. In the ghastly inferno that followed the crash, the nation lost its key war leaders. Over the next twelve months, it became clear that the passing of Geoffrey Street, Sir Henry Gullett and James Fairbairn had destabilised Robert Menzies wartime government. As a direct but delayed consequence, John Curtin became prime minister in October 1941. Controversially, this book also tells the story of whether Air Minister Fairbairn, rather than RAAF pilot Bob Hitchcock, had been at the controls. Andrew Tink tells the dramatic tale of a little-known aspect of Australias political history.
