A project seldom if ever developed for the Internet ... a website to return to regularly ...

THIS WEBSITE is a major excursion beginning with examinations of Merchant Networks in the general context of The British Empire during its first and second foundings. The outlook is international, though not exactly global.

Or, more generally, merchants operating in the English-speaking world ... from the 1680s to about 1900 ... All to be seen in a more detailed way than attempted before on the Internet ...

Regarding Chapter 26

One of the topics for Chapter 26 is treatment of aspects of the career of the Australian social reformer Caroline Chisholm, who perhaps deserves even more respect than she is usually given in Australia. And, perhaps a web page on her work can help to widen her reputation internationally? To this end, we have due to the generosity of Paul Halloran (of Tamworth, New South Wales, Australia) been able to present and annotate his 2009 essay on Chisholm. This file will be added-to as time passes and extra information comes to light. The writers/editor share views that Chisholm made an impact on nineteenth century maritime history that has not been properly recognised due to lack of attention to the British merchants and shipping managers she drew into her own reform-minded networks. Footnotes are given here in two sequences. Those numbered 1 - 2- 3 etc are from the original author, Paul Halloran. Those denoted (a), (b), (c), etc are by the editor. Interpolations by the editor are marked with the bluepin graphic shown at left: interpolations include an additional set of foonotes. (And be careful if you decide to print this page. The original document alone was 82 pages - Ed)

Anyone further interested in Caroline Chisholm can contact: Paul Halloran, 23 Diane Street, Tamworth, NSW, 2340. Australia. Phone: +061 (02) 6762 0011. His e-mail address is: pmhalloran@aapt.net.au
