Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Emigration and Colonization: Embodying the Results of a Mission to Great Britain and Ireland, During the Years 1839, 1840, 1841, and 1842 "A work (the Colonization of North America) which we really consider to be for the glory of God and the honour of the nation, from the benefit that is likely to flow from the right prosecution of it." - King Charles Firtt´s Letter to the Baronets of Scotland, 15th Aug. 1632. "I confess, that whatever apprehensions I hare had with regard to Lower Canada, I fear much more disastrous consequences from what has occurred in the Upper Province. There are a great number of discontented spirits there; first, the settlers from the United States, who keep up a connexion with it, and whose views are always directed to a connexion with it; and next there are men who have gone from this country with little character, and no means, and who have transferred to Canada the dangerous doctrines they had imbibed at home." - Lord Wharneliffe, Second Reading of Canada Bill. "Every axe driven into a tree in British North America, sets in motion a shuttle in Manchester or Sheffield." - Lord Brougham. "Extensive plans of pauper Emigration are not much better than penal Emigration. We have no right to cast out among other nations, or on naked shores, either our poverty or our crime. This is not the way in which a great and wealthy people, A Mother or Nations, ought to colonize." - Times, May 27, 1844. "The appointed mission of this nation evidently is to people the boundless regions of America and Australia with a race of men professing the purest religion, inheriting the richest literature and proudest history, and endowed with the largest hare of personal energy, perseverance, moral courage, self-command, habits of order and industry, and, in a word, professing the highest degree of aptitude for practical civilisation, of any race which the world has yet seen." - Laing´s Essay.
