NEW SOUTH WALES: LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY: Claims of the Rev. W.B. Clarke Thomas Richards Sydney, 1861.
Clarke is often called the "Father of Australian geology". This report, the proceedings from a Select Committee convened in 1861, is an examination of his claims as a gold discoverer, and is particularly important as a key source document for Clarke's life.<br><br>William Branwhite Clarke (1798-1878) was educated at Cambridge, and although he took holy orders soon after graduating MA in 1824, he remained devoted to the study of geology. He was advised to seek a warmer climate for his health in 1839, and he emigrated to New South Wales, simultaneously taking up curacy in the parish of Castle Hill and Dural, as well as the position of headmaster at the Kings School, Parramatta. In 1851, acting on his own theories and with government support, he spent nine exhausting months on the Monaro and upper Murray.<br><br>The report includes the transcript of his lengthy interview by the Select Committee, as well as a number of letters from his correspondence on the subject. The document also includes the appendix, with many excerpts from contemporary Australian and international sources applauding Clarke's efforts.<br><br>His unflagging efforts were well-known and well-rewarded, but it is interesting to note that he published very little, apart from the two more technical reports Researches in the Southern Goldfields of New South Wales (1860) and Remarks on the Sedimentary Formations of New South Wales (1867). As a result, this Select Committee report is a particularly important document for the history and personality of Clarke.
