John West (1809–1873) was an English-born writer and clergyman, known for his comprehensive and seminal work on the early history of Tasmania. His two-volume treatise, 'The History of Tasmania (Volume 1 & 2)', remains a cornerstone in Australian historiography, offering an in-depth examination of the island's colonial period, including the origins of European settlement, relations with the indigenous populations, and the development of societal institutions. West's scrupulous approach to research and his eloquent narrative style have earned him a distinguished place among Australian historians. He wrote with a keen analytical eye and a compassionate approach to the ethical issues of his time, qualities that have helped his work endure in historical circles. Prior to his work as a historian, West was a prominent Congregationalist minister and a leading figure in the anti-transportation movement, advocating against the continuation of sending convicts to Australia. He emigrated to Tasmania in 1838, where his experiences and observations would later form the bedrock of his historical contributions. His writing, rich with detail and insight, not only records the events of the time but also provides readers with a sense of the societal and moral climates that shaped early Tasmania. West's commitment to truth and moral reflection in history remains an exemplary model for scholars and historians.
