Excerpt from Colonial Administration Kept in a state of backwardness are to be led out into the light of freedom and reason and endowed with the multiform blessings of civilization. Many Of the races embraced in this ideal love are as little inclined to accept the dispensations of a human providence as were the European nations who resisted the spread of revolutionary ideas as interpreted by Napoleon. Their resistance may, however, turn out to be less formidable, and so the course of history may not repeat itself. The experiment may be more successful this time than it was before, and a new era may actually be dawning upon the outlying regions of the world.
