This twelfth and final volume of the series covering the economic history of Colonial NSW (mainly between 1788 and 1835) records the events leading to federation, the federation debates, and the 1901 constitution. It is a suitable and appropriate conclusion to this masterful series. Most colonial governments were formed during the 1850's and at that time federation was not under any consideration. However, the growing inter-colonial trade and general governmental affairs evidenced the gap needing to be filled by a federation and momentum grew in the 1880's and 1890's with the turn of the millenium being the ideal time to commence a federation of all colonies.

When Archibald Liversidge first arrived at Sydney University in 1872 as reader in Geology and Assistant in the Laboratory he had about ten students and two rooms in the main building. In 1874 he became professor of geology and mineralogy and by 1879 he had persuaded the senate to open a faculty of science. He became its first dean in 1882. In 1880 he visited Europe as a trustee of the Australian Museum and his report helped to establish the Industrial, Technological and Sanitary Museum which formed the basis of the present Powerhouse Museum's collection. Liversidge also played a major role in the setting up of the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science which held its first congress in 1888. For anyone interested in Archibald Liversidge, his contribution to crystallography, mineral chemistry, chemical geology, strategic minerals policy and a wider field of colonial science.
