And in their forefront were lawyers. As commercial services in Britain expanded, so did the demand for legal skills. As early as 1840, according to Sir George Stephen, there was 'scarcely any important transaction in which a merchant can engage that does not more or less require the counsel of his solicitor'. During the Age of Victoria the process accelerated enormously. In the Antipodes over the same period, lawyers became considerable men of affairs. In nineteenth-century New Zealand, politics and administration were thickly peopled by men trained in law. But it was in the world of buying and selling that the qualifications of this profession were at their most marketable. In commerce and conveyancing the arcane skills of solicitors proved indispensable. Indeed so close were the connections of lawyers with banks, with capitalists providing money at interest, and with merchants, that they are rightly to be seen as the great facilitators of colonial business. In this regard they were much more akin to the solicitors of Scotland than to any English counterpart. This being so, is not our ignorance of the actual workings of early New Zealand legal practices remarkable? Where firms have written of themselves, the accounts have generally been slight, perhaps because they have been put together for in-house consumption. Granted, the histories of the New Zealand Law Society — national and district — have been much more substantial.But they","PeriodicalId":51937,"journal":{"name":"NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF HISTORY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48180185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The invitation to contribute an overview for this journal was intelligently conceived. But I was loath to accept. I was a recent convert to the study of New Zealand history, having done all my training in other fields. The invitation seemed but an opportunity to expose my ignorance and to make enemies by invidious comments about my peers. Two events changed my mind. First I visited Gallipoli. Walking over those precipitous hills, stumbling over the unburied leg-bones of nameless Anzacs and even a skull blown dry in the wind, I kept thinking of that powerful and ambivalent statement on the New Zealand memorial at Chunuk Bair, 'From the uttermost ends of the earth'. What business was it for men from the distant South Pacific to die here? — and such thoughts were only intensified by the uncanny resemblance of the landscape to New Zealand hills. Gallipoli brought home the tragedy of a colonial and (in view of the Maori names on the memorial there) a colonized people. I returned to New Zealand in time for Anzac Day, in time to hear politicians and even, it has to be said, a historian arguing that at Gallipoli New Zealand came of age as a nation. In 1915 New Zealanders certainly made such claims, but this only exposed how much their sense of nationhood was contained within an imperial framework. The texts and images on the Great War memorials were overwhelmingly of a British derivation. To hear the nationalistic claims about Gallipoli repeated in 1990 was intolerable to one who had just returned from the place. Surely historians could do better than this? If, in this year of commemoration, New Zealanders wished to remember the nation's growth to identity, we needed to provide a more accurate and meaningful history than an exclusive focus upon 25 April 1915. But where could I turn for a richer and more honest account of our evolution? I wanted a history which explored in detail the","PeriodicalId":51937,"journal":{"name":"NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF HISTORY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71177444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
