"Report on the State of Agriculture and Trade in New South Wales" is the third report by English judge and royal commissioner John Thomas Bigge on the state of affairs in the colonies. His inquiry started as several wealthy landowners, mainly John Macarthur, complained about the governorship of Lachlan Macquarie. The latter was famous for his policies of remediating ex-convicts back into society, creating a lack of a cheap and free workforce for the landowners. Bigge's reports condemned Macquarie for his emancipated views and support of ex-convicts, which led to Macquarie's resignation and turned the colonies into dreaded places of isolation and punishment for the convicts.

Readers who are immune to the attractions of collecting but who value our past and its books will also find something to interest them in the following pages.

Establishing business enterprise in a tiny, remote penal settlement appears to defy the principles of sustainable demand and supply. Yet early Sydney attracted a number of business entrepreneurs, including Campbell, Riley and Walker. If the development of private enterprise in early colonial Australia is counterintuitive, an understanding of its rationale, nature and risk strategies is the more imperative. This book traces the development of private enterprise in Australia through a study of the antecedents, connections and commercial activities of early Sydney merchants.
