第52页 - Truly, shepherd, in respect of itself, it is a good life; but in respect that it is a shepherd's life, it is naught. In respect that it is solitary, I like it very well; but in respect that it is private, it is a very vile life. Now in respect it is in the fields, it pleaseth me well; but in respect it is not in the court, it is tedious.
第106页 - This world is the best that we live in, To lend, or to spend, or to give in ; But to beg, or to borrow, or get a man's own, 'Tis the very worst world, sir, that ever was known.

I cannot acquiesce in the theory that they are incapable of improvement, and that their extinction before the advance of the white settler is a necessity which it is impossible to control. I recommend them to your protection and favourable consideration with the greatest earnestness,...
第109页 - But the greatest, the most fatal error connected with the sale of the waste lands of the colony was committed in the appropriation of the revenue derived from thence to the purposes of immigration. A million sterling has in some shape or other been appropriated to these purposes.

第194页 - I cannot conclude this despatch without expressing my sense of the importance of the subject of it. My hope is that your experience may enable you to suggest some general plan by which we may acquit ourselves of the obligations which we owe towards this helpless race of beings.
第168页 - To civilize the rude, unpolished world, And lay it under the restraint of laws ; To make man mild, and sociable to man ; To cultivate the wild, licentious savage With wisdom, discipline, and liberal arts — The embellishments of life ; virtues like these Make human nature shine, reform the soul, And break our fierce barbarians into men.
第109页 - ... committed in the appropriation of the revenue derived from thence to the purposes of immigration. A million sterling has, in some shape or other, been appropriated to this purpose. It was forgotten that capital and labour, as elements of colonisation, should exist in a new country in proportion to each other ; and it was a fatal mistake to send the one out of the country, in order to bring the other in.
