- W4200584547 abstract "Sir.—The prevalence of the most absurd opinions on “table moving,” even among what are called “cultivated” people, proven, as Professor Faraday remarked, that there must be something radically wrong in our system of education. Not less does the monstrous credulity which leads many to believe that ladies are likely to do well in Australia. Your admirable leaders, in which you grappled so successfully with this deplorable fallacy; cannot but prevent much misery. Poorly off though she be in this country, a lady, after seeing your view of the true state of things, will besitate long before she consents to exchange a wreath of English daisies for a crown of Sydney thorns, or a chaplet of Tasmanian nightshade. It is melancholy to think what false notions on this point excite the female fancy. Poor things! They seem to believe, that as the black slave becomes at once free on touching English ground, so the impoverished lady has but to place foot on Australian soil in order to get into the “primrose path” which leads to affluence; in short, they speak as though every ounce of wool grown on Australian, sheep was solely to be used in crochet work, and that, crochet work was the only work there required from gentle fingers. Alas for these daydreams! You, Sir, have convincingly shown how, in that land of guilt and gold, spade and pickaxe must inevitably take precedence of pen and piano. Yon have caused many a heart to throb, many a head to ponder deeply over the question—“What is Australia is the money-value of accomplishments?” and the gratitude of every being whose hopes are bound up in some dear sensitive one, who had thought of exiling herself, is honestly yours for ever." @default.
