TitleIllustrated London News 1849 vol.15 page 214DescriptionThis article notes that nearly every arriving mail brings news of unrest or dissatisfaction from Britain’s colonies and dependencies - whether Canada, Jamaica, the Cape, Ceylon, or others. It cites Sir William Molesworth’s speech describing the impossible burden placed on the Colonial Secretary, who must constantly shift attention across the globe, from North America to the Tropics to Ceylon and Van Diemen’s Land. Even the Ionian Islands, once thought tranquil, are now also discontented, showing that no colony or dependency is free from trouble.Year1849Volume15Page Number214FormatNewspaper article
