AbstractHistoryArchive Description
The Sydney Monitor is 'sorry to observe the Australian continuing a flippant mode of expression neither friendly to his contemporaries who have not offended him, nor creditable to himself as a young man, an inexperienced editor, and a young Colonist'.
The Monitor contrasts the editorial styles of the Colonist (or the 'Cunning-ist' as it calls it) and the Australian: 'The Australian, in one respect, is inferior to the Cunning-ist. Double-face can reason; the Australian cannot. When the Australian finds an argument which contradicts its prejudices, feeling its inability to reason, it gets rid of it by saying, "we treat it with all the contempt it deserves".'
