D. Shaw, Editor of the " Tasmanian News, " writing to the " Scotsman " of November 2ist, 1912, recalls this incident and letter. He mentions that he had a correspondence with Sir William on this subject, and that the latter wrote to the following effect : "I io6 Heredity and Environment look upon the case of Tasmania as one of the most hopeful and animating barriers to oppose to that kind of quasi-scientific pessimism which tends to look upon all criminal and insane tendencies as an ineradicabl...e taint, and thus to circumscribe the actions of free-will in the individual, and discourage reformatory and punitive measures alike on the part of the State. " From the scientific standpoint it is impossible to secure a more positive demonstration of the non- heredity of crime and of the benefit of a new environ- ment. This one instance alone would show that our ancestors were not lacking in wisdom in dealing with criminals by the method of transportation. Not only was it wise in regard to the criminal and his de- scendants, but it resulted in no evil of a direct or con- taminating kind to the people among whom they were sent.
