Abstract
Most historical writings on mid-nineteenth century Australia politics emphasize the triumph of radicals and liberals over the stubborn forces of conservatism, indiscriminately presenting conservatives as opponents of enlightened reform. John Manning Ward redress the balance in this first of three studies of conservatism in Australia. he reveals James Macarthur, son of the famous John, as a sensitive, humane person whose liberal-conservative ideas can be empathized with on their own terms.
