Excerpt: ... A SKETCH OF THE COLONIAL LIFE MRS. CHISHOLM. In February, 1846, a committee was formed in Sydney for the purpose of presenting to Mrs. Chisholm, then on the eve of departing for England, a testimonial of the estimation in .which her services on behalf of the emigrant population were held by the colonists.

In a very short time 150 guineas were raised, and presented to her with the following address: -- "We, the undersigned members of council, magistrates, landholders, merchants, and others, inhabitants of New South Wales, beg to offer you, on the occasion of your departure from this colony, the expression of our thanks for your active and zealous exertions on behalf of the emigrant population during the last seven years.

Emigration and the Labouring Poor
Author: Robin F. Haines
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1349257044
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
Robin Haines has analysed the origins, occupations, literacy, and mobilization of emigrants recruited in the UK on behalf of colonial legislatures. Her exploration of strict selection procedures shows that the symbiosis between the clergy, empire-minded philanthropic societies, and parishes, which combined to fund the emigrants' considerable pre-departure expenses, increased the opportunities for underemployed rural and domestic workers during an era of farm rationalization and industrial restructuring. Although poor, hybrid state and private funding enabled them to relocate to Australia where their skills were in demand.
