1 June 1802 + D
N. S. Wales

Hitherto I have Thus far the Colony has been considered case of <add>the colony of</add> the New South Wales
in no other light character, than that which was at any rate
the principal, if not the only ostensible final cause of the
foundation of it: —
one in which the planting
of it was grounded
viz; that of a receptacle of for Convicts —
a sort of extended prison.

But, bu whichever it may be in this respect,
it is labeled moreover a Colony; and its by this appellative on its colonial character
it may be found possessed <add>indeed
</add> in a hour or less consideration </del>
we are called upon of course by this appellation, to look into to it, for
degrees with their advantageous properties which which
are looked for in other Colonies.

If in the character of a Colony, a distant territory
be capable of yielding any advantage to the mother
country, it must be in one or other of two shapes — .
wealth and population. population and wealth: men;
and things subservient to this men's use.

But to yield advantage on the score of wealth, it is not sufficient that
it possess the wealth in itself the of wealth; it is necessary that out of
the quantity of that portions matter which itself possesses, it
the wealth it possess
should be both able and willing disposed to add to the stock possessed
by the Mother Country, for the supply of the towards the provision <add>made for the </add>
public exigencies of government in the Mother Country,
+ — to add — and that by means of capital furnished by the Colony itself, and not drawn only by means of capital taken drawn out of the mass of capital belonging to the Mother Country, and extracted from it that otherwise would have remained and been employ'd in within its limits
such a quantity of that matter, which as without it the Mother
Country would not possess otherwise — would not f lend
it not been for the acquisition of those appendages this same acquisition have possessed at all;

In like manner to be to the Mother
Country in the of population it is not sufficient that
it should possess a population of its own; to a
that out of this population it should be at a mad-
disposed
