| Abstract
|
:
|
The early settlers saw themselves as constituting an ideal society brimming with natural resources, blessed with minimal social organisation and believed it fostered extreme individualism, create content and harmony and would remain forever free from the evils of the Old World. Fairburn corrects this naive self-perception.
