Excerpt from A Colonial Autocracy: New South Wales Under Governor Macquarie, 1810-1821 The selection of the period of New South Wales history covered by this book, of the years 1810 to 1821, may seem to call for ex planation. The choice was not arbitrarily made, but was due to the fact that the publication of the historical records of the State commenced by the New South Wales Government in 1892 ceased in 1901 with the issue of the seventh volume of the series, containing the documents of the years 1809 to 1811. These documents consisted of official papers and a few private letters, and by their help the history of the Colony may be traced from Captain Cook's first voyage to the end of 181 1. It was there fore obvious that further research should commence where this publication left off. By going back, however, to the commence ment of Governor Macquarie's rule in 18 10, the period is brought to a natural conclusion with his return to England in the begin ning of 1822.
