Indeed it may be said that in Burma it is the laity who supervise the monks rather than vice versa.

Equally significant was it that in several other colonies, where the governors failed to call the legislatures, provincial congresses or conventions were spontaneously elected to supervise the situation and choose delegates to the Continental Congress. So deep was the popular anger in Massachusetts Bay that the collection of arms and powder and the organization of militia were rapidly begun.
Had Baudin lived to return to France, and to supervise the completion of the charts, it is most probable that he would have erased the island which was merely supposed, as he had since charted the real one; but Freycinet, not having been present at the meeting with Flinders, and knowing nothing of the reason which induced Baudin to set it down, left it there a quaint little fragment of corroboration of the truth of Flinders' narrative of the Encounter Bay incident.
