Paperback. Condición: 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 tha…t 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.
