Synopsis

Excerpt from Familiar Letters on Population, Emigration, Home Colonization, &C. &C

The following Letters have, for the most part, already appeared in periodical papers within the last five years. Some of them, addressed to ih dividuals, were never before published. The sub jects have been treated in such a plain and fami liar way as might probably excite general atten tion, and urge also to useful exertions on behalf of the labouring classes. The Author has reason to believe that his efforts have not been altogether unavailing, many estimable men having expressed a favourable opinion of his views 5 and he is fully satisfied that ample means exist for aecom plishing all his objects regarding the poor, with at least corresponding advantages to the rich. He cannot doubt that the constant employment of the former in useful occupations may, without difficulty, be provided for them at home.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a series of letters written by the author to various individuals on the subject of an increasing population and its consequences, which the author insists are not so dire as some prominent thinkers of the first half of the nineteenth century believed. The author argues that mass emigration is not the answer to what he perceives as a manufactured crisis and discusses the advantages of domestic employment through cultivation of more land. The author believes emigration weakens the mother country. He argues that internal investment in waste or uncultivated lands, through employing laborers in creating productive soil would lead to greater agricultural output, therefore increasing the supply of food, while simultaneously reducing the numbers of unemployed and unemployable. He also questions the supposed greater yield of Canadian soil over British soil. The author's ideas are presented through carefully reasoned argument and supported with numerous examples and statistics. Ultimately, the book seeks to refute the idea that emigration is the best solution to overpopulation. The book is an interesting read for anyone interested in economic or social history and for those who enjoy well-reasoned argumentation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331591764_0
