'If Captain James Cook discovered Australia — if John Macarthur planted the first seeds of its extraordinary prosperity — if Ludwig Leichhardt penetrated and explored its before unknown interior — Caroline Chisholm has done much more: she has peopled — she alone has colonised in the true sense of the term.' — Henry Parkes' Empire newspaper, 15 August 1859.
