Overview

Excerpt from Land Systems of Australasia To the political student or experimenter few finer fields of investigation are open than that afforded by an exami nation of the governing systems of the colonies comprising British Australasia. Some remarkable examples are there offered of the effect of adapting old rules to new conditions, and of the result of attempts to formulate new methods or practically apply theories which elsewhere are still in the hypothetical stage. It is a land of boundless possibilities, and one which under different auspices in its earlier years might occupy a much larger place in the world of today. For no more fitting place than this sea-girt great south land could have been reserved by an all-wise Providence for the realisation of ideals of purer thought and more wholesome methods, free from the demoralising influences ofa past. It is as though Nature in the fulness of her heart had here raised from the ocean bed a new earth to which man might transplant himself, and live anew and truer life; or as though the Provider of All Things had said, to use the words of one long since gone - I called this new world into existence to redress the balance of the old.
