BENNET KENNEDY, DAUGHTER OF THE REV. JOHN WORDSWORTH, VICAR Of BRIGBAM, THIS BOOK IS BESPECTFULLT DEDICATED BY HER VERT HUMBLE XSt> OfetolEKT SERVANT, JOHN ASKEW. PREFACE. PREFACES are more frequently matters of form than subjects of utility. The briefer, therefore, the better. All I deem it necessary to say is, that having been in an extraordinary manner permitted to visit Australia and New Zealand, and that at a time when the utmost excite­ ment prevailed owing to the discovery of the Australian Gold Fields. I have published the various circumstances which came under my personal observation. Everywhere I obtained the.means of transit by self- exertion. I left home an invalid, with a faint hope of surviving the voyagej but, through the goodness of Divine Providence, I was permitted to return to my native land in perfect health. My travels I have now placed in the hands of the public, hoping that they will deal leniently with the imperfections which must necessarily exist in a work written under such peculiar circumstances. For much of the valuable information contained in the eighth chapter I am indebted to Mr. W. R. BIRKETT, of Workington, and Mr. J. BONWICK, of Boroondara, Victoria, both of whom have been residents in Victoria many years. JBrigham, Jtdy'Ut, 1857. JOHN ASKEW. TABLE OF CONTENTS. CHAPTER I.

The following year the company took over the ships operated by Ford and Jackson on the route between Wales and Ireland. Services were operated between Weymouth, the Channel Islands and France on the former Weymouth and Channel Islands Steam Packet Company routes. Smaller GWR vessels were also used as tenders at Plymouth and on ferry routes on the River Severn and River Dart. The railway also operated tugs and other craft at their docks in Wales and South West England.

  • The Woman-Slave Analogy: Rhetorical Foundations in American
    The Woman-Slave Analogy: Rhetorical Foundations in American Culture, 1830-1900 Ana Lucette Stevenson BComm (dist.), BA (HonsI) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics I Abstract During the 1830s, Sarah Grimké, the abolitionist and women’s rights reformer from South Carolina, stated: “It was when my soul was deeply moved at the wrongs of the slave that I first perceived distinctly the subject condition of women.” This rhetorical comparison between women and slaves – the woman-slave analogy – emerged in Europe during the seventeenth century, but gained peculiar significance in the United States during the nineteenth century. This rhetoric was inspired by the Revolutionary Era language of liberty versus tyranny, and discourses of slavery gained prominence in the reform culture that was dominated by the American antislavery movement and shared among the sisterhood of reforms. The woman-slave analogy functioned on the idea that the position of women was no better – nor any freer – than slaves. It was used to critique the exclusion of women from a national body politic based on the concept that “all men are created equal.” From the 1830s onwards, this analogy came to permeate the rhetorical practices of social reformers, especially those involved in the antislavery, women’s rights, dress reform, suffrage and labour movements. Sarah’s sister, Angelina, asked: “Can you not see that women could do, and would do a hundred times more for the slave if she were not fettered?” My thesis explores manifestations of the woman-slave analogy through the themes of marriage, fashion, politics, labour, and sex.
