The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 27

Conclusion

Conclusion.

In conclusion, let me ask you to bear in mind that the effects of the Exhibition would not be confined to those who visited it; that the information about Australasia spread abroad by the Press and through the reports of visitors would reach to the uttermost cornel's of the United Kingdom; that there would hardly be a soul from John O'Groat's to Land's End who would not gain some crumbs of new knowledge about these communities. It is the march of the troops through the children's playground which makes the recruits of ten years afterwards. Who can doubt but that the bread thus cast upon the waters would bear fruit after many days, and in immigrants who, at the time of the Exhibition perchance, learnt no more about it than the mere fact that it was being held?

Thanking those who have taken the trouble to read this proposal,

I have the honour to be, gentlemen,

Your obedient servant,

R. E. N. Twopeny.
