Objects of research-
Persons to be sent

Mode of obtaining
proper persons.
Advertisement.
Field for experiments
in legislation.
Expectations of
new productions
1 - Mineral.
Ex.g. Platina
2. Vegetable
3. Animal.
For vegetable,
climates whose
plants would live
in our own are
preferable.
Vegetable products
not compostable
fresh.
Cheaper to bring
the Flax-plant
to a nearer country.
Money bestowed
for where & when a
breach of trust-
compare with the
African family &
the though & bo .
scotch fishing family
The set of more
out - another
who think
Who the planner
of this scheme -

firm and avow
himself
Will he stand
examination
What talents
natural or acquir'd
for legislation - What
extent of views?-
What acquaintance
with
Natural philosophy,
the mistress
of economy
and of the arts?
Colonisation
involves legislation.
The only known
product that affords
a possibility of being
worth carriage is the
Flax-plant - & if
that the mode of
manufacture is
known only in N.
Zealand
200 Irish - were
not many of them
Catholics & probably
most - where is
their instruction
& comfort?
Faciendae
1. No more men
than women.
2. Panopticon
a seminary
for the Colony.
3. The first
thing should have
been a minute close
survey of the
coasts & Rivers -
Cook's distant
survey not sufficient.
4. Royal Society
to choose naturalists
&c & give
in plans of settlement
4. Poachers &
and Poaching books
- as the Game
Laws do not extend
there.
5. Estimate should
have been made
out under every
head & under
every head a
comparison drawn
between the actual
expence & the estimate
M
Inconvenience
Abuses
1
8 Soldiers, officers
&c without women
2
9 virtuous women
an example
to the other women.
3
10 Punishment from

and obligately
converted into
perpetual. Physical
impossibility
instead of legal prohibition.
4
11 Impossibility of
bringing back without
5
12 Officers can't carry
out their wives -
Expence greater than
of an E. Indies Voyage
6
13 Disposition &c
from the
arbitrary power respecting
the conveyance
of correspondence.
14
14 Expence of Guarda-
costas to prevent
contraband
15
Population necessarily
limited - for Government
can't afford
to send any more
than those it is forced
to send
Panopticon
a Seminary
Instruction to
be directed to
that view
Marriage
the object of
purpose - the reward
for good behaviour.
& the domain
under
the painful
idea of banishment
16
distance in time
5 or 6 times as
great as to America
- Greater than to the
E.Indies -
these are
commodities raised
by cheap
very cheap labour
- to China
Therein the E.Indies
are got things cheap
as the br maded
by stealing
then ready made.
Introd
Recommendatory
considerations
- what -
- flattering -
See Bird + in view
1. Impossibility
of return by
distance.
A. - Exercise
of expence.
17
The Rivers in there
is a market for
timber, & the timber
is good: there the
timber is bad &
there is no market
for it.
18
Expence of shifting
the men troops so
often as three years
19
It begins with
despotic government
- military
government N.America

Moral improvement
of convicts
by sending to America
not a parallel

-There were Masters
ready to receive

them -
There only are
free settler -v.
Ph. Chaps. Extract
Comm.Prep.
No data from
whence the expence
for more per annum

cleave to the roof of my
mouth never to part

to later an unfair advantage!
ere I insinuate what I do not
think, or &c
The capital thus
employed had it
not been there employ'd
would not
have been Shown
among - It would
have either been
laid out in the purchase
of present
enjoyment, or laid
laid up in store for future.
Throwing many the
nations money in a
ing way - nobody
knowing any thing about
the matter
Evil as good as
most in England" p.5
- What no better?
Culture of the
Flax Plant the
only dependence -
yet the settlement
not made in New
Zealand -
Expectations will
depend on economy
- husbandry & philosophical
knowledge
- yet nobody
sent out who has
intelligence enough
to think equally
the New Zealanders
in the management
of the Flax plant,
The process must be
very simple for those
conducting it.
This an establishment
for the means pl
of somebody - ding
that any one who could
take a in colonisation
laws so raw about it.
