Side 28 - It might be presumed that the native inhabitants of any land have an incontrovertible right to their own soil : a plain and sacred right, however, which seems not to have been understood. Europeans have entered their borders uninvited, and when there have not only acted as if they were undoubted lords of the soil, but have punished the natives as aggressors if they have evinced any disposition to live in their own country.
Side 28 - It is not too much to say, that the intercourse of Europeans in general, without any exception in favour of the subjects of Great Britain, has been, unless when attended by missionary exertions, a source of many calamities to uncivilized nations.

Side 31 - It is impossible to read, without shame and indignation, the details which these documents disclose. The unfortunate natives of New Zealand, unless some decisive measures of prevention be adopted, will, I fear, be shortly added to the number of those barbarous tribes, who, in different parts of the Globe, have fallen a sacrifice to their intercourse with civilised men, who bear and disgrace the name of Christians.

The Aborigines who did not become domesticated (as it was called) like the Hottentots, seeing no chance of retaining or recovering their country, withdrew into the interior as the whites advanced, and...
Side 29 - From very large tracts we have, it appears, succeeded in eradicating them ; and, though from some parts their ejection has not been so apparently violent as from others, it has been equally complete, through our taking possession of their huntinggrounds, whereby we have despoiled them of the means of existence.
Side 31 - ... extensive islands from the further evils which impend over them, and to deliver our own country from the disgrace and crime of having either occasioned or tolerated such enormities.
