Abstract

Footnotes 1 R. M. Crawford, An Australian Perspective (Melbourne: Melbourne University Press, 1960), p. 5. 2 G. Bolton, “The Idea of a Colonial Gentry”, Historical Studies, XIII, October 1968, pp. 307‐28. 3 S. H. Roberts, History of Australian Land Settlement (Melbourne: Macmillan, 1968), p. 37. 4 C. W. Dilke, Greater Britain (London: Macmillan, 1872), p. 361. 5 Calculated from the municipal assessment rolls published in Hobart Town Gazette, 1875. There were certain problems involved in arriving at a list of the one hundred largest estates. Many estates were made up of two or more separate properties scattered over several municipalities. Calculation of the total area of the more fragmented estates was often difficult. Any of the last ten estates in the list could have been replaced by others of similar size. Final choice was arbitrary. Another problem was that mere size of property was no guarantee of efficient land use, money value of land, actual wealth or respectability of the landowner. Thus numerous prosperous and highly respected land owners are not included in the list. However a list of the one hundred most highly assessed rural properties would not vary greatly from one based on size of holding.
