His two-volume report in 1822 - 1823 generated considerable controversy, and has been considered as the major issue for the future development of the Australian colonies. The ISBN 0855610271 applies to the 2-volume set: Volume 1: The Oral Evidence [and] Volume 2: The Written Evidence. The editor, Dr John Ritchie, a lecturer in history at the Australian National University (ANU), also wrote a revealing background report about Commissioner Bigge called 'Punishment and Profit' (based on his ANU PhD thesis).

Copy of a Letter from Earl Bathurst to John Thomas Bigge, Esq. dated the 6th of Janurary 1819. Copy of a further Letter from Earl Bathurst to John Thomas Bigge, Esq. dated the 6th January 1819'. London, Ordered, by the House of Commons, to be Printed, 7th July, 1823. Number 532 Commissioning Bigge's inquiry: "While transportation to New South Wales is thus applied as an adequate punishment for the most heinous offences, it unfortunately, at the same time, carries with it, in public estimation, so little of apprehension in any proportion to the guilt of convicts, that numerous applications are made from those who are sentenced to imprisonment for minor transgressions, that they may be allowed to participate in the punishment to which the greatest offenders are condemned" (page 4). Provenance: Colonial Office Library, ink stamp page 1, and annotated on last page. - 'New South Wales. Report of the Commissioner of Inquiry into the State of the Colony of New South Wales'.

No. 1 - Copy of a Report, by the late Major General Macquarie, on the Colony of New South Wales, to Earl Bathurst; in July 1822. No. 2 - Extract of a Letter, from Major General Macquarie to Earl Bathurst, in October 1823; in Answer to certain Part of the Report of Mr. Commissioner Bigge, on the State of the said Colony'. Ordered, by The House of Commons, to be Printed, 25 June 1823. Number 477 In 1819, John Thomas Bigge accepted an appointment as commissioner of inquiry into the colony of New South Wales. His arrival in the colony came as quite a shock to Governor Lachlan Macquarie, who, since 1810, had governed with an emancipist policy that was ahead of his time. He had asserted "a complete personal control, had converted New South Wales from a rebellion-torn penitentiary to a settlement of substance. In his personality were mixed a broad sense of justice and a humanity far ahead of Georgian concepts, manifest in his willingness to readmit emancipated convicts to society without any regard for their past. To Bigge such an attitude was incompatible with Tory concepts of the purpose of the criminal law and, with added prejudice from his experience in slave colonies, he assailed Macquarie's methods vehemently. The governor, long unused to a superior, affronted by the challenge to his authority and resentful of Bigge's frequent proposals for changes, was not prepared to submit quietly" (Bennett). Bigge's resulting three extensive reports were, in Macquarie's opinion, a "false, vindictive and malicious" indictment of his tenure. His response was slow to come, as he waited until all three reports were published, but when it did, in 1823, it was another five years before it was published, as here. Nevertheless, history has vindicated Macquarie. Collectively, Bigge's reports, prompted the insertion of clauses into the New South Wales Act that set up limited constitutional government through a Legislative Council, to establish Van Diemen's Land as a separate colony, to enable extensive legal reforms, and to make new provisions for the reception of convicts from England.

NOTE: As discussed by Wantrup (1987), concern was expressed in 1817 by Lord Bathurst, Secretary of State for the Colonies, that Governor Macquarie's humanitarian policies were undermining the effectiveness of the transportation system as a means of criminal punishment. Macquarie's administration was already being attacked in the House of Commons in 1816, and in 1817 John Thomas Bigge (1780-1843) was appointed as Royal Commissioner to inquire into the overall effectiveness of the system. As Wantrup points out, Macquarie was under review quite as much as the transportation system: From the moment of his arrival in the colony in 1819 Bigge's relations with Macquarie were strained. As time wore on the tension turned to antipathy and Bigge found himself more in sympathy with the exclusives of the squattocracy than with the Governor. Bigge was assiduous in assembling evidence in New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land, but he was far from judicial and impartial in his methods of collecting it and in the prejudicial conclusions he drew. His series of reports were published in 1822 and 1823. By that time Macquarie had resigned. (Wantrup, p. 114) Bigge's reports are an important part of Australia's documentary history. They had a significant impact on the future shape of the colony and, as such, no collection of early Australiana should be without them.
