ABSTRACT
In many hundreds of colonisation schemes have evolves, some under the ægis of the Home and Colonial Governments, others under the patronage of charitable bodies, whilst yet a third group owe the origin to commercial enterprise. The views of Lieutenant–Colonel Cockburn, a shrewd official who had had much experience in colonisation matters, less assuring. The first season the fund is administers by the Scotch Office, a Colonisation Board is appoints to expend the moneys. The chief colonisation settlements of the nineteenth century have thus located in Canada; South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. The question of colonisation in Australia is faces with various difficulties. Emigration differs from colonisation in that the former suggests a movement from one land to another of people who intend to make the permanent homes in the country of reception. The latter infers not only the idea of movement to a new country, but also settlement on the land.
