  • Introduction

    Birth: 1820 Cripplegate, London (MyHeritage) Henry Newton Goodrich i(5 works by) (a.k.a. H. Newton Goodrich; Newton Goodrich) Also writes as: Beelzebub Born: [1821] Surrey, England ; Died: 1878 Victoria Gender: Male Arrived in Australia: 1858 Biography Little is known of Goodrich's early life. Whilst living in England, he published a book of verses, I Too (1856), under the writing name 'Beelzebub', and also possibly a second work titled The Martyrs of Myletene [? Mitylene]. He migrated to New Zealand with his family in the later 1850s, before moving to Melbourne in 1858, where he established a pawn-broker's business in inner city Collingwood, which he ran until his death in 1878. His novel Raven Rockstrow is significant in that it was arguably the first novel to genuinely use Melbourne as a setting.

    ) RAVEN ROCKSTROW Author: GOODRICH, HENRY NEWTON. Title: Raven Rockstrow: or, the Pedlar's Dream. A romance of Melbourne. Description: Melbourne, Caxton Repository 1864. ... 7-258pp, ... engraved frontispiece by Calvert after a drawing by John Fallon. ... bookplate of Harry Austin Brentnall, medico and bookmaker whose books used to be ubiquitous in the Sydney trade. Only edition of this quite rare sensation thriller, dubbed the first Melbourne novel proper. Certainly it's a grim metropolitan book set in the slums where life revolves around the pawn shop. From two brief paragraphs I picked out these descriptions of Goodrich's Melbourne: dreary, isolation, misery, oppressive, ghostly waste, and forlorn. Blackmail, murder, a story within a story; it's all here. This has one of the most captivating illustrations I've seen in a thriller. The frontispiece, on pink paper, is a dark, dark engraving that demands close inspection; maybe the best depiction of what mysterious deeds in the dark of night really look like. (Richard Neylon) RECEIVING STOLEN PROPERTY Maria Hughes and Annie Williams were brought up, on remand, charged with feloniously receiving stolen property. Alexander Short, publican, Spencer-street, identified a double barrelled gun, dressing-case, cruet-stand, "now produced, as having been stolen from his place on the 28th ult. The house was entered by lifting up the cellar trap. George Jameson, pawnbroker, proved that the dressing-case was pawned at his place by Hughes on the 29th ult. It was further shown that the gun was taken by Williams on the 31st ult. to the shop of H. N. Goodrich, pawnbroker, Collingwood, but was not received, and that the ciuet-stand was pledged by the same prisoner at this shop. Detective Hannan proved finding a razor, identified by Mr. Short, at the house of the prisoners when he arrested them. They were convicted, and sent to gaol for two months. (The Argus (Melbourne, VIC.: 1848-1957 Wednesday 11th August 1866 p.6) ADVERTISMENT GO to GOODRICH. Welllngton-street, for second-hand WEARING APPAREL. Henry Newton Goodrich, Wellington-Street, Collingwood. (The Argus (Melbourne, VIC.: 1848-1957 Saturday 2nd October 1869 p.1) PETTY LARCENY Thomas Matthews, a lad, was charged with stealing a blue polonaise from outside the shop of H. N. Goodrich, pawnbroker. Another boy saw him take the article and run away. The Bench gave him three months' imprisonment, and he was sentenced to an extra three months for stealing socks from a drapery shop. Mr Templeton remarked that goods were too much exposed by tradesmen.

In 1821, in the year that Henry Newton Goodrich was born, on August 10th, Missouri was admitted as the 24th U.S. state. Once part of the Louisiana Purchase, the Missouri Territory had petitioned to become a state in 1818 but because slavery was an issue in the US at the time, the territory's request was controversial. With the Missouri Compromise of 1820 - which made Maine a free state and Missouri a slave state - Missouri was admitted to the US.
