MACQUARIE, Lachlan. Governor of New South Wales
Major-General Lachlan Macquarie (1762-1824) was Governor of New South Wales from 1 January 1810 to 1 December 1821. He arrived at Port Jackson on the "Dromedary" on 28 December 1809, accompanied by his wife, Elizabeth Henrietta (separate entry). Their only child, a son, Lachlan (separate entry), was born on 28 March 1814. The family left the colony on the "Surrey" on 15 February 1822.
Macquarie was a most prolific writer. During his period as Governor most public correspondence, proclamations, government and general orders, memorials, instructions, etc were either addressed to him or issued in his name, and frequently drafted or annotated in his hand. Hence it was not thought practical to make entries under his name for this vast wealth of material, as anyone interested in all aspects of his administration would need to study it in total. Therefore selective entries only appear here, encompassing all personal matters, material relating to the power or authority of his office or administrative arrangements, the most important instructions to public officials or explorers (particularly if drafted in his hand), a number of proclamations and government and general orders (again particularly if drafted in his hand), his correspondence with the civil and military authorities in England, and a selection of other matters that throw some light on the main issues of the day, his style of government and character.
