Sir Edward Deas Thomson (1800-1879) was a prominent colonial Australian. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland he was later to be appointed Colonial Secretary of NSW and as such the governor's chief advisor and one of the most powerful people in the colony. In 1849 he was a member of Charles Wentworth's select committee to establish Sydney University and was one of the appointed members of the University Senate from 1850 until his death. His contribution to the growth of the colony of NSW and his other achievements are too numerous to record here but a full biography is included with the lot.
