THE  

SOUTH-ASIAN REGISTER  

DECEMBER, 1828.  

NUMBER 4.  

ARTICLE I.  

New Holland.  

HERE, we resume the question of Emigration; and having  

set forth its disadvantages in our previous number, we  

now come to dwell on the bright side of the picture, and reveal  

its advantages, actual or imagined—  

We do not know what God intended to become of the human  

race, when he first brought them into being, whether he meant  

them to be crowded together in cities, or to be scattered abroad  

over the face of the earth, wherever it is habitable, in small  

families; but from his kindness in first creating them, we can  

have no doubt of his having designed their general happiness.  

The large proportions of barren tracts, occupying the sur  

face of the earth, are not complete evidence of its being ac  

cured on account â€œof mans first disobedience;" they have many  

important advantages, such as inducing more decided freedom  

of opinion, more enterprise, research, and beneficial industry.  

Whereas in large community, like China, for example, un  

divided by mountains, seas, rivers and deserts, men hold the  

same opinion as their fathers did, and as their neighbours do,  

probably without having the same scope of natural enjoy  

ments as formerly; and they become, because they are forced,  

of like manners and like customs with each other, no matter  

how vile and degenerate, from the necessity of circumstance,  

and because there is no immediate place to flee to for refuge.  

But, as the world is constituted, without deciding on its pro  

priety, we are of an opinion which poets, and philosophers  

have universally entertained, that of the bulk of mankind, the  

tillers of the land are more uniformly happy than the dwellers  

in the city.—Therefore, if those convinced of this, are not ena  

bled to pursue the cultivation of the soil in one part of the
