Abstract This article analyses the work of Richard Daintree as Agent-General for Emigration from the United Kingdom to Queensland when he held that role between 1872 and 1876. Daintree designed exhibitions in London to attract emigrants, placed advertisements in newspapers, wrote a guide to Queensland’s resources, liaised with shipping companies for passenger berths, lectured in the provinces to potential emigrants, and cooperated with emigration sub-agents provided by Queensland’s government for Scotland and Ireland. Daintree contended with two main problems during his period as Agent-General. One involved a serious case of fraud discovered in his London office, but he was not responsible for its occurrence. The other was that a change of Queensland premier from Arthur Hunter Palmer, with whom he had worked cordially, to Arthur Macalister, with whom he had fraught relations, adversely affected his work. Overall, however, the article shows that Daintree was successful in increasing net migration to Queensland during his incumbency as Agent-General.

出售昆士兰：理查德·丹特里 (Richard Daintree) 担任移民署署长，1872–76 年

摘要 本文分析了理查德·戴恩特里 (Richard Daintree) 在 1872 年至 1876 年期间担任从英国移民到昆士兰州的代理部长的工作。丹特里在伦敦设计展览以吸引移民，在报纸上刊登广告，撰写了昆士兰州移民的指南。资源，就客运泊位与航运公司联络，在各省向潜在移民进行演讲，并与昆士兰政府为苏格兰和爱尔兰提供的移民分代理合作。丹特里在担任特工期间遇到了两个主要问题。其中一个涉及在他的伦敦办公室发现的一起严重欺诈案件，但他对此事件概不负责。另一个是昆士兰州总理从与他亲切合作的亚瑟·亨特·帕尔默（Arthur Hunter Palmer）改为亚瑟·麦卡利斯特（Arthur Macalister），与他关系紧张的人，对他的工作产生了不利影响。然而，总体而言，这篇文章表明，丹特里在担任总代理期间成功地增加了向昆士兰州的净移民。
