The Historical Records of New South Wales are published with the object of affording the fullest information obtainable
concerning the foundation, progress, and government of the mother colony of Australia.
Published in 1901, the seventh volume covers the period 1809 to 1811 – the administration of Lieutenant-Governor Paterson and the opening years of Governor Macquarie. Again, the extensive collection of letters, despatches and State papers provide an interesting insight into all facets of the colony.
In May, 1810, the British troopships Hindostan and Dromedary sailed for England with the New South Wales Corps, the name of which had been changed to “102nd Regiment” when it was decided to recall it. The officers and men of this Corps exerted a very great influence over the affairs of the infant settlement. For nineteen years they had been quartered at Sydney.
