Clyde Company Papers 1821-1873 - the primary source record of colonial Van Diemen's Land and the founding of Victoria's pastoral industry, 7 volumes | ed. P.L. Brown | Oxford, 1952-1977 [USED – HCDJ – Complete Set]

FIRST PUBLISHED: London, Oxford University Press, in seven volumes issued between 1952 and 1977 (this set).

The Clyde Company was formed in 1836 under a Scottish deed of partnership, with seven partners each investing £1,200. Later that year, the company's manager George Russell drove 3,000 sheep from Launceston, Van Diemen's Land, across to Port Phillip Bay — one of the founding ventures of what would become the colony of Victoria's pastoral industry. Edited by P.L. Brown from the company's own letters, accounts and correspondence, these seven volumes remain a foundational primary source for historians of both colonial Van Diemen's Land and early Victorian settlement, still cited today in current academic scholarship.
