Abstract

In a colony like this…there is constant temptation to indolence or sensuality, in the absence of permanent interests, of the thousand refinements which European civilisation provides for the imagination and the heart…Doorm’s land needed not more the sword or the avenger, than a young society requires help against moral and material meanness.¹
