ButtothefollowingIattachmuch significanceandimportance.The wordswereutteredbyDr.SirJohn Cockburn,aSouthAustralianparliamentarian,andoneofthatState'srepresentativesatthevariousConventionswhichculminatedintheFederationoftheAustralianStates.Onhis waytoEngland,in1899,viaAmerica, hewaswelcomedattheIndependence Hall,Philadelphia,onOctober17th, andduringthecourseofanaddressof thankshesaid:"Iwillnot,inthisutilitarianmuseum,whereantiquitiesare outofplace,whereeverythingisdealt withinitspresent-dayaspect,gointo thehistoryoffederation.Iwillnot discussthearchaeologicalcuriosities whichobtainedinremoteages;Iwill notevendwelluponthat WonderfulFederation ofmediaevaltimes-afederationofone language,onegovernment,onereligion, whichtookplaceundertheCatholic Church."
