Many might be saved who now suffer an ignominious and an early death; and many might be so much purified in the furnace of punishment and adversity, as to become the ornaments of that society of which they had formerly been the bane. The vices of mankind must frequently require the severity of justice; but a wise State will direct that severity to the greatest moral and political good. ANON.

TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE ROBERT LORD HOBART
His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the War Department,
One of the Commissioners for the Affairs of India, etc.
MY LORD,
Feeling myself highly flattered by your permission to inscribe the following pages to your Lordship, I now
humbly presume to offer them to your perusal.
The colonists of New South Wales will feel with me, who must ever take an interest in the welfare of the
settlement, a high degree of satisfaction at finding the conduct of their affairs placed under the direction of a
nobleman who has dignified the amiable virtues of private life by the acquisition of those more splendid
talents which characterise a consummate statesman; thus at once rendering himself the object of veneration
and of gratitude to his country.
