Introduction

Scope and Contents

The correspondence has been arranged chronologically, with letters from Charles Cowper, Lord Belmore, Sir Henry Parkes and the Samuel Family separated into distinct groups. Most of the correspondence with Charles Cowper is dated 1870 and relates to Samuel's resignation from the Executive Council. The letters from Lord Belmore are dated 1868-85, with many written 1868-72, when he was Governor of New South Wales. The largest group contains letters from a number of correspondents dealing with personal matters and official business such as appointments, securing loans and relations with the Colonial Office.

There are also letters from Sir Henry Parkes 1872-90, and letters to and from members of Samuel's family.

Biographical / Historical

Sir Saul Samuel (1820-1900), 1st Baronet, was born in London. His father died before he was born and in 1832 he accompanied his mother to New South Wales, where his uncle and his brother were already living. He was educated at Sydney College and in 1837 he joined the Sydney counting-house of his uncles. With his brother Lewis, he later formed the Sydney mercantile company of L. & S. Samuel and in time became a director of several companies based in Bathurst.

Samuel was the first Jewish parliamentarian and the first Jewish minister of the Crown in New South Wales. He represented the counties of Roxburgh and Wellington in the Legislative Council in 1854-56. In the Legislative Assembly he represented Orange in 1859-60, Wellington in 1862-69 and Orange in 1869-72. He returned to the Legislative Council in 1872. In 1865-66 and 1868-70 Samuel was Colonial Treasurer in the ministries led by Charles Cowper and John Robertson. He was postmaster-general in the ministries led by Henry Parkes in 1872-75, 1877 and 1878-80.

In 1880 Samuel was appointed Agent-General for New South Wales in London. In this post he worked closely with the Colonial Office and, in particular, undertook negotiations on behalf of the New South Wales Government for loans and improved mail services. He also encouraged assisted migration to New South Wales. He represented the colony at the 1887 Imperial Conference and was involved in the planning of several international exhibitions.

Samuel retired in 1897 but continued to live in England until his death. He had married Henrietta Goldsmith-Levien in 1857. She died in 1864 and in 1877 he married Sarah Isaacs. He was knighted in 1882 and was made a baronet in 1898.
