FROM

ORIGINAL AND AUTHENTIC SOURCES.

"In the glorious days of Elizabeth, frequent were the navigations of our
worthies. Every brave spirit was taken up with some action deserving esteem.
Let the same occasion be that was; and there will be found English blood in
English veins still. The same we received from our fathers, the same we will
leave to our sons."-Fairfax MS. on Plantations, A.D. 1608; Hinton's History of
the United States, vol. ii., p. 388.

"Sir Andrew Freeport held it to be a stupid and barbarous way to extend
dominion by arms, for true power is to be got by arts and industry.”—Spectator,
No. 2, A.D. 1710.

'In colonizing the interior of South Africa, the Government ought to take the
lead."-Sir Andries Stockenstrom to the Secretary of State, 1834.
