Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Essay on New South Wales: The Mother Colony of the Australias The Australasian Colonies have taken advantage of the Centennial Exposition of the United States to make themselves better known abroad; and it is the belief of the Author of the following Essay that New South Wales, as the Mother Colony of the group, and the possessor of remarkable resources, which are combining to make her more progressive than at any previous period, deserves an effort to offer to the world a view of her advantages, condition, and prospects, more comprehensive than has yet been presented. The Exposition to which we have referred is one of the signs of the times. For the first time a great commonwealth, in seeking to commemorate the achievements of her arms, has risen above local feelings and bitter memories, inviting all nations to a congress of the arts of peace; and her former opponent has been foremost in promoting the success of the undertaking. The cordial way in which Great Britain has united with America in a jubilee over the events of 1776 is, let us hope, the initial of a new and bright page of history. It is especially pleasing to Australians, whose loyalty to the one admits of fraternal regard for the other. The harmony which has prevailed in the "city of brotherly love" between the assembled representatives of all communities speaking the English language encourages the idea of an alliance that would consolidate the power of the Anglo-Saxon race, and at the same time diffuse more freely amongst mankind the benefits of its vigorous civilisation.
