By granting local pardons to well-conducted prisoners, to whom small farms, seed corn, and stock were furnished; by issuing tickets of leave to others, who were thus enabled to work on their own account; by inducing retired officers from the army and navy, and other respectable settlers, to make Australia their home, on receiving consider able tracts of fine land; the preparatory stage of a healthy colonial existence was quickly passed, and the varied resources derivable from arich soil and genial clime became manifest. The primeval forest was felled, the virgin earth yielded abundant increase, the aborigines few, widely scattered, and in the lowest state of barbarism, offered no resistance to the spread of population; villages arose in the wilderness, which good roads, constructed by convict labour, soon tended to convert into townships; well-filled barns, extensive sheep-pens, and large stock-yards delighted the eye; ships crowded the noble harbour of Sydney, and those who a few short years before saw gaunt famine staring them in the face, now beheld plenty rewarding all who, whatever their antecedents had been, had learned to regard industry and probity as the duties of life.
