An American writer in discussing, a few years ago, the quality of the literature produced before the War of Secession, when wealth and leisure were abundant among the planters and in the principal New England towns, observed that 'there would seem to be something in the relation of a colony to the mother-country which dooms the thought and art of the former to a hopeless provincialism. If a comment so largely fanciful could be made respecting Australasia and Canada, it would practically mean at all events from the American point of view that as long as they remain dependencies of Great Britain, and therefore lack the stimulus of an active patriotism, so long will much of whatever is individual in their social development and national aspirations be without expression.
I should here state, that when she was removed to Flinders Island, none of the natives there could understand her a fact somewhat hostile to the theory of those who hold that there is little or no variety in the aboriginal languages of Australasia.
And driving to Ocock's office, on term day, he resolved to go on afterwards to the Bank of Australasia and there deposit this sum. Grindle, set off by a pair of flaming "sideboards," himself ushered Mahony into the sanctum, and the affair was disposed of in a trice.
I am inclined to think that the term Brazil mentioned by Albuquerque refers to Australia, which had been called Brasilie Regio from an early date a date prior to the discovery of Brazil in the year 1500. See, on this subject, my paper in the proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society of Australasia under the heading "Is Australia the Baptismal Font of Brazil?" Vol.
Following the failure of the shipbuilding bill we lost our only American line of steamers to Australasia, and that loss on the Pacific has become a serious embarrassment to the people of Hawaii, and has wholly cut off the Samoan islands from regular communication with the Pacific coast.
See Wentworth's Australasia, vol. i. p. 51. See Mr. M. Martin's Van Diemen's Land, p. 274. The following specimen of the evil art of stirring up the discontent of those that are suffering under the dispensations of Providence, is taken from an old newspaper, published in Hobart Town in 1835.
To the beloved of the Lord and the handmaids of the Merciful throughout America, Great Britain, Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, Japan and Australasia. Fellow-workers in the Vineyard of God!
In 1864 the last man died, in 1876 the last woman died, and the Spartans of Australasia were extinct. The Whites always mean well when they take human fish out of the ocean and try to make them dry and warm and happy and comfortable in a chicken coop; but the kindest-hearted white man can always be depended on to prove himself inadequate when he deals with savages.
"Where the mighty Pacific with soft-swelling waves A thousand bright regions eternally laves." See Wentworth's Australasia, vol. i. pp. 52-55. Upon this beautiful and convenient piece of water, which has been just described, is the capital of the principal British colony in Australia situated.
The language of Shakespeare and Milton, of Gibbon and Macaulay, ought surely to be good enough for ordinary people; and it must be obvious to every reasoning being that at the present moment of the world's history, English is one of the most useful languages in existence. It is spoken by 40,000,000 of people in Europe and twice that number in America, not to mention Australasia and South Africa.
