Notes
* This is a revised form of a lecture first given at the University of Meloburne on 9 June 1976 in an interdepartmental series on Religion in the Australian Environment. For the criticism which stimulated amendments, I am grateful in particular to the staff and postgraduate students of the School of History, University of New South Wales, to whom the original was given as a seminar paper, but I am also indebted to staff and students of the University of Melbourne, and to others who made comments on the original script.
