This book seeks to highlight the influence of the Enlightenment
idea of social progress on the character of the "civilising
mission" in early Australia by tracing its presence in the various
"civilising" attempts undertaken between 1788 and 1850. It also
represents an attempt to marry the history of the British
Enlightenment and the history of settler-Aboriginal interactions.
The chronological structure of the book, as well as the breadth of
its content, will facilitate the readers' understanding of the
evolution of "civilising attempts" and their epistemological
underpinnings, while throwing additional light on the influence of
the Enlightenment on Australian history as a whole.
