BiographyHistory

Richard West Nash was a Perth lawyer and journalist. In 1846, he purchased the Western Australian newspaper The Inquirer from Francis Lochee, but was forced to relinquish control in late 1846 when he was appointed Acting Advocate General. (Nash eventually sold the newspaper to Edmund Stirling in May 1847.)

Nash was a strong advocate for white settlement in Western Australia. In 1849, he published Suggestions on the Subject of Colonization Viewed as the Especial Mission of England, and the Allotted Task of the Nineteenth Century (also known as Stray Suggestions on Colonization).
