Granville Stapylton : Australia Felix 1836 : Second in command to Major Mitchell /Gregory C. Eccleston. "Granville Stapylton Australia Felix 1836 Second-in-command to Major Mitchell is based on the true journals of the pioneer land surveyor Granville Stapylton when he accompanied Major Thomas Mitchell on the famous 'Australia Felix' expedition in 1836, as his second-in-command. This expedition proceeded down the Lachlan, Murrumbidgee and Murray rivers into far western New South Wales, before crossing into what is now Victoria and proceeded south past the Grampians to the coast at Portland, before returning via Mount Macedon to the settled areas near Gundagai. Their continuous survey traverse from Boree (near Molong) to Jugiong (near Gundagai), via south-west Victoria, was found to have a commendably small misclosure of 13/4 miles. Stapylton's journals clarify when and where several natural history discoveries were made, including that of the now extinct Pig-footed Bandicoot, the now extinct White-footed Rabbit-rat, and the first-ever sighting of an australite. Stapylton's journals also describe several first contacts with the indigenous people, the sometimes-fraught relationship between himself and Mitchell, and Stapylton's concern for the welfare of the young girl Ballandella, whom Mitchell took home to raise with his family: one of the first instances of the 'stolen generation'. Being of the aristocracy, Stapylton found it hard to fraternise with the convicts in the team, but by the end of the expedition he had warmed to them sufficiently to praise them for always treating Turandurey (the female in the party) with respect. The book later describes the attack on Stapylton's survey camp in far north-eastern New South Wales, inland from Mount Warning, in 1840, resulting in the murder of Stapylton and one of his men. The farcical criminal trial in Sydney in 1841 is described in detail, with the men adjudged guilty being brought back to the infant Brisbane Town to be publicly hanged from the vanes of the windmill. Also revealed is Mitchell's assuming responsibility for Stapylton's baby son, including his care and schooling until he was old enough to become employed."--Dust Jacket 2018. • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 92STAPYLTON

Goldsmith's College : a centenary account Goldsmiths' College occupies the site of a distiller's house built in 1789 in New Cross. Educational activities have been carried on there since 1792. The premises were later used for a private school to the Royal Naval School in 1843. When the School moved to Eltham in 1889 the buildings were acquired by the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. Between 1891 and 1905 the Company maintained a Technical and Recreative Institute. The buildings were presented to the University of London in 1904; Goldsmiths' College has been part of the University ever since. Known as a teacher training college, it also maintained a School of Art and an Evening Department. From about 1960 the range of activities expanded until in 1988 it was admitted as a full School of the University of London. This book was published as part of Goldsmiths' centenary celebrations in 1991 and tells the story of its development over the years. There are numerous black and white photographs, and an index of persons. Appendix B lists the Wardens of Goldsmiths' College from 1905. 1991 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 378.4(421)
