Présentation de l'éditeur
By Mr GLADSTONE Hawabdbn, A pril 20, 1897. Dear Mr Hogan, My recollections of Gladstone were most copious, and are now nearly half-a-century old. The period, December 1845, when I became Colonial Secretary, was one when the British Government had begun to feel nonplussed by the question of Transportation. Under the pressure of this difi Bculty, Lord Stanley, or the Colonial Office of his day, framed a plan for the establishment, as an experiment, of a pure penal colony without free settlers (at least at the outset). When I came in, the plan might have been arrested in the event of disapproval, but the Government were, I think, committed, and I had only to put the last hand to the scheme. So it went on towards execution. In July 1846 the Government was changed, and Lord Grey succeeded me. He said he would make none but necessary changes in pending measures. He, however, annihilated this scheme.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a fresh look at the fascinating yet often forgotten story of Northern Australia and the short-lived colony established there in the mid-19th century. It explores the ideas and experiences of William Ewart Gladstone, the British statesman who played a pivotal role in the colony's creation. As Colonial Secretary, Gladstone believed that a new colony could offer a solution to the growing problem of crime and transportation in the British Empire. He envisioned a place where prisoners could be sent to serve their sentences and potentially rehabilitate themselves. The book delves into the challenges and complexities faced by the colony, from its establishment and the selection of its site to the challenges of governance and the welfare of its inhabitants. It also examines the broader context of penal reform, transportation, and the impact of British colonialism on Australia. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, this book sheds new light on a significant chapter in the history of both Australia and the British Empire, offering valuable insights into the complexities of crime, punishment, and the search for redemption in the Victorian era. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330366257_0
