Trang 223 - We were now treading that illustrious island, which was once the luminary of the Caledonian regions, whence savage clans and roving barbarians derived the benefits of knowledge, and the blessings of religion. To abstract the mind from all local emotion would be impossible, if it were endeavoured, and would be foolish, if it were possible.
Trang 340 - Melbourne, and bounded on the north and northeast by a straight line drawn from Cape How to the nearest source of the river Murray, and thence by the course of that river to the eastern boundary of the colony of South Australia...
Trang 149 - In this immense tract of more than two thousand miles there was every variety of soil, and great parts of it were extremely fertile, peopled only by a few black inhabitants, who, in the rudest state of society, knew no other arts than such as were necessary to their mere animal existence, and which was almost entirely sustained by catching fish.
Trang 225 - She often looked at the ship, but expressed neither fear nor surprise : In a short time she kindled a fire, and the four canoes came in from fishing.

HE INTRODUCED INTO AUSTRALIA THE ART OF PRINTING, INSTITUTED THE SYDNEY GAZETTE, AND WAS THE FIRST GOVERNMENT PRINTER ; BESIDES WHICH HIS CHARITY KNEW NO BOUNDS. In 1823, Sir Thomas Brisbane, on assuming the reins of government, at once proclaimed the liberty of the press, and the Sydney Gazette, then in the hands of Howe's son, was no longer in possession of the field. A second paper appeared in Sydney in 1824 — the Australian, started by...
Trang 98 - March, 1803 ; its commencement was under the present Printer, who had enough to do to support it, for it supported not him ; and the first ten years of the Paper was, indeed, a time of vicissitude. He bought the paper at a very dear price ; he distributed his type ; he invented and obtained new matter without any auxiliary assistance ; he worked the Paper off at Press ; and he afterwards carried it out, that is to say, delivered it to the Sydney subscribers.
Trang 119 - Ocean, with a good ship expressly sent out on discoveries, a healthy crew, and not in want either of stores or of provisions, would have been betraying not only a want of perseverance, but of judgment, in supposing the South Pacific Ocean to have been so well explored, that nothing remained to be done in it.
Trang 152 - To those who are alarmed at the idea of weakening the mother country by opening a channel for emigration, I must answer that it is more profitable that a part of our countrymen should go to a new abode, where they may be useful to us, than to the American States. If we cannot keep our subjects ot home, it is sound policy to point out a road by following of which they may add to the national strength. The place which New South Wales holds on our globe might •give it a very commanding influence in...
Trang 241 - Water, which came trinkling down and stood in pools among the rocks; but as this was troublesome to come at I sent a party of men ashore in the morning to the place where we first landed to dig holes in the sand, by which means and a Small stream they found fresh Water sufficient to Water the ship.
