Aborigines Of British Settlements In South America And Australia
The article surveys harsh outcomes of colonial policies toward indigenous peoples. It cites Lord Goderich on missed religious instruction, notes dispossession of lands in Guiana, and condemns European contact in New South Wales for depopulation and moral decline. It discusses reform efforts, mission aid, and lessons for new colonies like South Australia. It recounts conflict on the western coast, exploded by settler injustice, and cites Stirling and Braffles Bay as potential cures through conciliation.

Controversy over British punitive raids and Van Diemen’s Land policy
The piece critiques indiscriminate punishment of indigenous groups after colonial violence, notes Lord Glenelg and Sir James Stirling pursing conciliatory policies, and condemns forced removal of Aborigines from Van Diemen’s Land. It highlights Governor Arthur’s humane stance, the Flinders Island exile outcome, and fears extinction of the native population. It then warns that penal colonies in the Pacific have unleashed crime, vice, and alcohol trade through runaway convicts and sailors, eroding civilization efforts in New Zealand and South Seas islands.
