Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Extracts of Letters From Poor Persons Who Emigrated Last Year to Canada and the United States: Printed for the Information of the Labouring Poor, and Their Friends in This Country In printing a Second Edition of these Letters, I take the opportunity of saying a few words on the general question of Emigration. There are some persons, I believe, who still treat its advocates as visionary schemers. To such I would respectfully suggest the following simple considerations. The population of these kingdoms is notoriously excessive as compared with the demand for labour. The consequence is, that many an able-bodied man, anxious to support himself and his family by his industry is unable to obtain employment, and reduced to pauperism here, to mendicancy in Ireland; becoming a burden to his country instead of a valuable instrument of production. Large numbers of these persons are every winter on the verge of starvation, protracting a life of misery on an average allowance from their parishes of 2¿d. per day to each individual in a family.
