| In this comprehensive biography, the authors discuss William Dawes' life and his considerable impact--as astronomer, engineer, surveyor, ordnance officer and intellectual centre point--on the early colony in New South Wales (in essence, his impact on the earliest history of Sydney as a settlement) and, subsequently, on the British colonies of Sierra Leone on the West African coast and Antigua in the West Indies.
