John Russell
6 Nov 1841“The Right Honorable Lord John Russell, in a late Despatch to His Excellency Sir George Gipps, on the treatment of Aborigines of New Holland, states, (when speaking of the difficulty in making reserves of land for the natives,) that "there are two sources of mischief which mar the most benevolent designs of this nature; the one arising from the inaptitude of the natives to change their desultory habits, and learn those of settled industry; the other from the constant inroads of Europeans, to rob, corrupt, and destroy them."”
