    About this ebook

    Lachlan Macquarie by James Frederick William is an autobiography of a British Army officer and colonial administrator from Scotland. He is considered by historians to have had a crucial influence on the transition of New South Wales from a penal colony to a free settlement and therefore to have played a major role in the shaping of Australian society in the early nineteenth century.
