"When the first fleet landed in Sydney Cove in 1788, 36 of the passengers were children. Almost immediately some were abandoned by their parents and the long, sad recorded history of destitute and neglected children in Australia had begun. By 1806 there were 1,832 children in the colony of which 1,023 were illegitimate. Little wonder then that the clergy and government officials were concerned about the orphaned children, especially the girls, who 'were abandoned to every kind of vice'. Governor King took action to withdraw the children from the 'vicious examples of their abandoned parents', and in 1801 established the Female Orphan School to house about 70 girls. Here they were taught needlework, reading, spinning and 'some few writing'. Splendid training indeed for future domestics or 'virtuous wifehood.'" - from dust-jacket blurb. Seller Inventory # 26240
