Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Australian at Home, Notes and Anecdotes of Life at the Antipodes: Including Useful Hints to Those Intending to Settle in Australia In the first book given to the world by the witty Monsieur Max O´Rell the following remark was made: - "John Bull is a colonist if ever there was one." To English ears this, of course, was a mere truism. Every Englishman takes pride in the fact that the colonies, past and present, of his native land are quite unparalleled in the history of the world. They have, in the case of the United States, been the foundations of a new nation. Time only will shew what they will be in the case of Australia. There is a strong party which confidently asserts that the continent of the south is to take her position in the future as an independent power in the world. Speaking for myself, I will only say here that I do not think the event of separation is very close at hand. In my opinion she will not sever her allegiance to England for many years, although there is no saying with certainty what the future may bring forth.
