Thomas Rogers (1806-1903) was a religious instructor on Norfolk Island from 1845 to 1847. His clashes with those in authority led to his recall to Tasmania. He was especially critical of the commandant John Price. Rogers was the model for the Rev. James North in Marcus Clarke's 'For the Term of his Natural Life'. His son John William Foster Rogers (1842-1908) became a headmaster in Melbourne. The manuscript was written and compiled by W. Foster Rogers, a journalist who was a grandson of Thomas Rogers. - Scope and ContentFull text of title page: 'Man's Inhumanity, Being a Chaplain's Chronicles of Norfolk Island in the 'Forties, based upon the journal, records, & writings of Rev.
