Australia's empire / [edited by] Deryck M. Schreuder and Stuart Ward. "The volume examines the meaning and importance of empire in Australia across a broad spectrum of historical issues - ranging from the disinheritance of the Aborigines to the foundations of a new democratic state. The overriding theme is the distinctive Australian perspective on empire. The country's adherence to imperial ideals and aspirations involved not merely the building of a 'new Britannia' but also the forging of a distinctive new culture and society. It was Australian interests and aspirations which ultimately shaped 'Australia's Empire'."--BOOK JACKET. 2008. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 994
Pressganged : the letters of George Price of Southwark alias "George Green" : ordinary seamen in HM sloop Speedy 1803-1805 /[commentary David Ellison]. This book provides a history of the practice of 'pressganging' in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic wars, based on the account of George Price, a sailor pressed into service in 1803. The book quotes letters sent by Price to his brother while serving in HMS Speedy, and other contemporary accounts including news reports, ships' logs, and court reports, to provide a detailed picture of how pressing was used in the conflict, and the daily lives of affected sailors. Includes black and white illustrations throughout. 1994. • BOOK • 2 copies available. 92PRICE
The interest : how the British establishment resisted the abolition of slavery /Michael Taylor. "For two hundred years, the abolition of slavery in Britain has been a cause for self-congratulation - but no longer. In 1807, Parliament outlawed the slave trade in the British Empire, but for the next quarter of a century, despite heroic and bloody rebellions, more than 700,000 people in British colonies remained enslaved. And when a renewed abolitionist campaign was mounted, making slave ownership the defining political and moral issue of the day, emancipation was fiercely resisted by the powerful 'West India Interest'. Supported by nearly every leading figure of the British establishment - including Canning, Peel and Gladstone, The Times and Spectator - the Interest ensures that slavery survived until 1833 and that when abolition came at last, compensation worth ¹340 billion in today's money was given not to the enslaved but to the slaveholders, entrenchign the power of their families to shape modern Britian to this day. Drawing on major new research, this long-overdue and groundbreaking history provides a gripping narrative account of the tumultuous and often violent battle - between rebels and planters, between abolitionists and the pro-slavery establishment - that divided and scarred the nation during these years of upheaval. The Interest reveals the lengths to which British leaders went to defend the indefensible in the name of profit, showing that the ultimate triumph of abolition came at a bitter cost and was one of the darkest and most dramatic episodes in British history."--Provided by the publisher. 2020. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 306.3620941
