Excerpt from Essay on the Beneficial Direction of Rural Expenditure
Mr. Colquhoun calculated, a few years ago, that the income of the various per sons forming. The landed interest (not in cluding any below 2701. Per dnnum each), amounted to above 80 millions sterling.' It is needless to insist on the importance to the country of a benficicl direction of so' large a sum, if we consider only its direct result; but when we see the vast influence which the example of opulent land-owners must have on all other classes, when we recollect, that they are quoted as authority by the circle round them, set the fashion of expendi ture even in the metropolis, and that they will give a bad or a good tone to society, according to the considerations which have habitually guided their con duct elsewhere, the consequence of the subject becomes still more apparent.
