XIV 
SIR JOSEPH BANKS. 
The thanks of the Committee are due to the Honorable Charles 
Gregory Wade, K.C., Premier and Attorney-General, and the Honor- 
able Thomas Waddell, Colonial Treasurer of Xew South Wales, for 
causing this volume to be printed at the public expense. It is 
confidently expected that the copies sold (none will be presented) will 
very considerably augment the Memorial Fund. From Sir Francis 
Suttor, President of the New South Wales Legislative Council (and of 
the Executive Committee of the Memorial Fund), and Sir Samuel Way, 
Chief Justice and Lieutenant-Governor of South Australia, both ol 
them authorities on the early history of Australia, I have received 
the warmest encouragement.
