History
The NSW Auxiliary of the British and Foreign Bible Society was formed in 1817 due to the influence of Lachlan and Elizabeth Macquarie. The first committee included 52 men, all of whom were leading citizens and who were also founding members of the Bank of New South Wales. The Auxiliary operated independently, but under the leadership of the Commonwealth Secretary when that committee was formed in 1925.
