Backhouse, James A Narrative of a Visit to the Australian Colonies. London: Hamilton, Adams & Co., 1843\ Junk-lit of the Sir George Gipps (who served from 1838 to 1846) period

” The problem of how to reform prisoners and eventually absorb them into general society was a pressing and distinctive one for the Australian colonies. It raised key questions about society, [who was fit to edit a newsletter], who could worship together, who could own property and hence hope to achieve political franchise. The conservative colonial politician James Macarthur led the exclusive party and represented their interests before the Molesworth Committee on Transportation (1837-1838): he railed against former convicts in positions of social responsibility and warned that ‘many disorders, gross corruption, and shameless profligacy, were the inevitable consequences.’ .. [Morality and social corruption were held in tension in these debates. While the Australian colonies were the ideal laboratory in which to conduct this moral experiment, the lessons learned were broadly applicable to modern societies, and the religious reformers and social theorists were acutely aware of this potential to extend their influence.]

” [Ambitious and curious men saw the Australian colonies as providing opportunities for intellectual endeavour and personal advancement.] ..

” When recalled to Britain in 1844 because his new system encountered considerable colonial resistance, Maconochie wrote a steady stream of publications to promote his scheme; appeared before Parliamentary select committees to defend his reputation and extend his influence; and, [along the way, inaugurated many of the foundational modern principles of penology¹.] ..

” Here I trace Maconochie’s connection to influential networks and social reformers to examine how he used print and public testimony to shape the image of the Antipodean laboratory in the colonies and the imperial [public sphere²]. ”

John for GEA & 🙈🙊🙉🐒 with Olivetti Group @MIT Keypads

“When men and women are relieved of excessive preoccupation and anxiety involved in obtaining the means of sustenance, they become concerned with measures for maintaining and improving their own physical health and general welfare and those of their chidren. And when it is necessary they can limit their families and/ or space their children to the best advantage for themselves and their offspring. Further, when they are not harassed by the daily care of excessive numbers of children for whom they cannot perforce adequately care physically and emotionally, and are as a result healthy and at ease with themselves and with their children, they seek the knowledge and the skills necessary to assure happiness in their roles as husbands, wives and parents.

“As a first step, their major need is information in areas they themselves recognize as most important for human relationships, namely sex and reproduction, areas about which there is more secrecy, misinformation, superstition and taboo than in any other aspect of contemporary human life. The facts are few and relatively simple to impart to adults. To transmit them to children is much more difficult, however, and the manner in which this is done by parents reflects their own state of development and points up the importance of attitudes as they are associated with and involved in such personal and intimate questions.

“The Margaret Sanger Research Bureau has been organized to render service and education and to conduct research in the fields of contraception and infertility, preparation for marriage and parenthood, and marriage consultation to men and women who seek help in problems of their marital relationships, particularly in the areas of sex and reproduction.

“The nature of problems as seen in the Bureau is fraught with much conscious and unconscious anxiety and guilt because of the extant taboos and superstitions about sex and reproduction. The ease with which the therapist or the counselor deals with these subjects, the directness of the approach and good feeling resulting from sharing with others what is so in problem, are among the factors that contribute greatly to whatever success is achieved.

“A variety of potency disturbances, problems of infertility, and sterility are presented in contraceptive and infertility clinics. The physical examination, diagnoses, and recommendations for treatment of the emotional aspects which patients discover as causing or contributing to physical conditions, help greatly in their accepting psychotherapy.

“At times the sex problems that occur early in marriage are the only ones the men and women are concerned with; but it is also possible to impart knowledge of, and then insight into, their immediate problems to the total emotional relationship, as well as to their own specific conflicts. Increasingly, as men and women seek greater happiness and contentment in their marriage, as all other aspects of their interpersonal relationships are brought to light, these are dealt with in marriage consultation service, and the approach to these problems is psycho-bio-social. It implies that a man is a total person, with a body, intellect and emotions. He has a genetic inheritance and acquired characteristics as a result of having been in a particular sequence and relation in the family [constellation] and in a particular [environment]. One is never isolated or alone; one is always involved in relationships and always in a social [environment] which influences one and which, in turn, one influences.

“The existence of varied capacities of an individual, constitutional in nature, are stressed. This points up an important factor in indications for, and treartment of, emotional disturbances.. Some of our patients are puzzled by the fact that though the same psychopathology with severe mental emotional disorders is present in some patients, it yet allows them to [function] in areas in which well-adjusted persons do not. It brings clearly to focus the uniqueness of the individual, and also that an identical pathology may be quantitatively different. THEY discover that strongert constitutional capacities in a disturbed person may make the difference between adequate and inadequate [functioning].

“Psychotherapy in our Service is used as a method of [treatment] of emotional disturbances as palliative, curative, and preventive. The psychotherapy is psychoanalytically oriented, eclectic in nature, emphasizing both Freudian and non-Freudian concepts, whatever applies in the particular case or group.

“It was found that group treastment offers a more realistic approach to many problems of interpersonal relationships as we see them in our Service than does individual counseling and treatment. Emotional nedds that can be satisfied by a person himself without involving others are relatively few. Most of these are satisfied through or in relation with some other person. Satisfactory [adjustment] to living when it involves another person is dependent upon the manner in which one acts and reacts in a relationship, on how feelings, thoughts and actions are expressed, modified or repressed out of consideration for the other individual involved. In a group one discovers not only why one behaves in a particular manner, but also how this behaviour appears to others, how and why they accept or reject it, and how they think one should modify it.

All our group sessions begin with a 10 to 15 minute discussion by the therapist of the psychodynamic factors in the particular problem under consideration. General mental [hygiene] concepts, social values, and sociological changes as they affect the problem, are also discussed. Beyond this the sessions are [unstructured]

..

“The content of the series of sessions is planned on the dynamic concept that people marry to satisfy certain basic needs such as love, sex and parenthood, and that these needs are influenced by early childhood experiences, by social and cultural [forces] which either reinforce positive attitudes or produce negative ones. The lack of information, the misinformation, the fears and anxieties from the prohibition of ordinary sexual [needs], the difficulties resulting from inadequate child-parent relationships – all adversely affect the capacity to love and prevent the development of a mature personality, culminating in difficulties in marital [adjustment]. It is anticipated that the presentation of the these concepts inculcate more positive attitudes and help to develop ionsight into what young people, as individuals are bringing to their marriage [s] and what the marital relationship involves.

“A series of three sessions is held to deal respectively with love, sex and parenthood. The number has been found adequate to to present the material and to ensure full discussions. Each session usually lasts from three to three and a half hours. Most of the young people are primarily interested in contraceptive advice, but some in more information about sexuality. The approach is to treat sexual [adjustment] in marriage as part of a total emotional relationship.

“Denis Diderot had four sisters, the eldest named Denise.. [whom he] sometimes referred [to] as ‘a female Socrates,’ such was her power of thought¹. 

“.. She wore false noses made from wood and glass, and is reported to have remained astonishingly cheerful throughout, drawing strength from her Christian faith. Denis Diderot’s daughter concluded that her aunt ‘possessed the rare secret of finding heaven on earth.’

“.. Returning there from Paris in middle, he wrote to his lover Sophie Volland of ‘a charming promenade, consisting of a broad aisle of thickly verdured trees leading to a small grove … I pass hours in this spot, reading, meditating, contemplating nature, and thinking of my love.’

“.. Diderot wrote (or contributed to) more than [6,000] entries, tackling almost every subject (although many of these were translations from Chambers and other sources, not least specialist medical textbooks). In the first ‘A’ volume alone he composed articles on giving birth (Accouchement), steel (Acier), agriculture, a boring machine for the manufacture of cannons (Alésoir), the Arabs, silver (Argent), and Aristotle.

“.. From 1747 to 1758 he was partnered by Jean Le Rond D’Alembert, the illegitimate offspring of aristocratic parent [s] (he was abandoned in a wooden box on the steps of the Parisian church St-Jean-le-Rond). Like Diderot, D’Alembert was another of those men whose agile mind found it impossible to settle on a single profession.

“Trained as a barrister and doctor, D’Alembert was also a skilful musician and mathematician; he was clearly suited to the breadth of learning required to edit a tremendous reference [‘work’]. And perhaps he felt he had something to prove: Frank and Serena Kafker have observed that while he had a sharp wit and talent for mimicry, he also had a high-pitched voice, a tiny³ build and rather plain features.’ The relationship of the two editors was productive but fiery. The Kafkers defined their characters as equally ‘touchy, self-righteous, given to emotional outbursts and convinced of his intellectual excellence⁴.’

“D’Alembert wrote daringly on mathematics, physics, music and astronomy, and his professional connections resulted in the commissioning of many fruitful entries. He was keen to use the Encyclopèdie to advance contemporary and original thought. Indeed he saw it as a weapon, and his most controversial article almost brought down the whole enterprise⁵.

“The entry entitled Genève contained rather more than just a brief history of that city state, it’s length alone suggested there was mischief to come. The whole of England was afforded three-fifths of a column, Denmark merely seventeen lines, but for Geneva, D’Alembert wrote four double-columned pages. His tone was admonishing. He criticised the city’s legislators for refusing to allow the staging of plays for ‘the fear of the taste for display, dissipation and libertinage that companies of actors communicate to the youth.’ In Geneva, D’Alembert argued, freedom of expression and loose morals were suppressed lest a whole generation grow up to sweep away their opposite. He had learnt of this suppression when visiting Voltaire, and the philosopher and playwright certainly influenced the complaint. For good measure D’Alembert also accused Calvinist ministers of hypocrisy and deception, and criticised what he saw as tuneless singing at church services.

“His opinion of the city wasn’t all bad – he approved, for instance, of certain Genevese penal leniencies (the refusal to put criminals on the rack among them), but he must have known his article would cause offence. The local elders banned the Encyclopédie in the city, and an angry meeting called by the Council of Geneva stopped just short of an official protest to the French government for fear of reprisals.. “

⁴ the Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where people with low ability or knowledge in a specific area overestimate their own competence, while those with high ability often underestimate theirs. This happens because a lack of knowledge prevents individuals from accurately self-assessing their own mistakes and shortcomings. The effect was first described by psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger in 1999

D’Alambert credited Bacon as an inspiration who had ‘silently in the shadows, prepared from afar the light which gradually, by imperceptible degrees, would illuminate the world.’ The entry in Encyclopédie by Abbé Jean Pestre entitled ‘Baconisme’ referrred to Bacon as a ‘grande génie.’

“[Jean Jacques] Rousseau’s contributions were principally concerned with the technicalities of [music], including entries on tone, rhythm [n] ^v, and the chromatic scale.But his major essay for the encyclopedia concerned political economy, and [it has dated well] [mother-trucking son of a container ship of sweet potatoes stuck in a canal] ..

“It is one of the most important concerns of government to prevent the extreme inequality of fortunes; not by taking away wealth from its possessors, but by depriving men of all the means to accumulate it; not by building hospitals for the poor, but by guaranteeing the citizen will not become poor. The unequal distribution of inhabitants in our country, some crowded together in one place, while other areas are depopulated; the support given to the arts in producing luxuries and to the purely industrial arts at the expense of the useful and laborious crafts; the sacrifice of agriculture to commerce … and finally venality pushed to such an extreme that public esteem is reckoned at a low cash value; and even virtue is sold at a market price: these are the most perceptible causes of opulence and poverty, of private interest substituted for public interest, of mutual hatred among citizens.”

^The original spelling was rime or ryme, which came from the Old French word rime. The current spelling, “rhythm,” was introduced in the 16th and 17th centuries to connect the word to its Greek and Latin origins, rhuthmos and rhythmus, respectively Rime/ryme: This was the original spelling in English, derived from the Old French word rime. It also appears in Old English as rim, meaning “number”.

^⁺¹ Rhythmus/rhuthmos: The Greek and Latin words for “measured flow” were adopted by scholars who wanted to show the word’s classical roots.

^⁺² Rhythm/rythme: This spelling emerged in the 16th and 17th centuries as printers and writers began to standardize English, with some adding the “h” and “th” to the older spelling to reflect the Latin/Greek root.

It is Monday in southern Australia.

” ‘Your excellency. allow me to point out … we don’t know what may happen to us … If we fall into enemy hands … All documents, all badges of rank … There is no reason why we should make it easy for them …’

“Samsonov did not understand. make what easy for them?

” ‘Alexander Vasilich, we are burying everything that could identify us. We have made a record of this spot and we will either come back for our things later or send someone to recover them. If you have any documents, or anything likely to reveal your name … And you should remove your epaulettes …’

” ‘My epaulettes!’ Realising at last what they were doing, Samsonov gave a hoarse roar and stood up from the tree-trunk like a bear roused from its lair. As though unused to standing on two legs, leaning forward slightly, forearms dangling, he placed hid hands on Postovsky’s narrow shoulders. Unable to believe his eyes in the faint light of the moon shining between the pine-trees, Samsonov found that it was true: the shoulders of his chief of staff were devoid of epaulettes. Only a torn scrap of cloth still flapped on his coat.

“With the same stooping gait, his arms hanging slightly forwards, stiff from having sat so long, he walked up to the nearest officer and put a hand on his shoulders – the epaulettes were gone. He moved on to the next man -gone too!

” ‘Gentlemen! Samsonov bellowed, straightening up. ‘You are betraying your oath of allegiance. Who gave you permission to do this?’ ….

“The only problem was that suicide was accounted a sin.

“With a faint click, the hammer of his revolver slipped readily int the cocked position. Samsonov put it into his upturned cap, which he had laid on the ground. He took off his curved sword and kissed it, then felt for his wife’s medallion and kissed it too.

“He walked a few paces to a clearing open to the sky.

“It was cloudy now, and only one small star could be seen. It vanished, then appeared again. He knelt down on the warm pine-needles, and because he did not know where the east lay he prayed to the star.

“He began with the set prayers, then none at all, simply breathing on his knees and looking up into the sky. Then, casting aside restraint, he groaned aloud, like any dying creature in the forest; ‘O Lord, if thou canst, forgive me and receive me. Thou seest – I could do no other, and can do no other now.’ ”

¹ The “pin factory” refers to a famous engraving from Denis Diderot’s Encyclopédie, which illustrates the division of labor in an 18th-century pin manufacturing workshop. This image, a key example of industrial artistry, depicts the detailed, step-by-step process of pin-making and served to highlight human ingenuity and the importance of manufacturing. It is famously used by economists like Adam Smith to explain the concept of the division of labor.
