emigration cure (1 Ergebnisse)

Booklet - Unbound Pages. Zustand: Very Good. 39 pages. Robert Southey uses the Select Committeeâs findings on emigration to explore Britainâs social and economic pressures, framing the sea as both metaphor and mechanism for national relief. Drawing on biblical and historical analogies, he argues that emigration offers not a miracle cure, but a practical outlet for a population strained by industrial overproduction and rural decline. The article critiques the rapacity of trade, the mechanisation of labour, and the erosion of agricultural skill, noting how cheap grain and poor wages have hollowed out rural life. Southeyâs tone is moral and reflective, urging policymakers to see emigration not as abandonment, but as a deliberate act of national stewardship - a way to restore balance between people, land, and livelihood. An authentic standalone article, extracted from a larger volume. Not a reprint or reproduction, but an original work in its own right. Preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 18 x 26 cms.
