Author Description

In "Humane Policy," Saxe Bannister addresses the critical need for justice toward the Aboriginal populations in new settlements as essential for the ethical expenditure of British money and the long-term interests of the settlers themselves. Bannister argues that a humane approach to policy is not only morally right but also economically sound, fostering better relations and stability within the colonies. The book provides suggestions on how to civilize the natives through an improved administration of existing means, advocating for policies that respect indigenous rights and cultures while integrating them into the broader colonial society. Bannister's work offers a historical perspective on the challenges and opportunities of colonial administration and the importance of ethical governance in shaping successful and equitable societies.
