Competence in a Colony Contrasted With Poverty at Home: Or, Relief to Landlords and Labourers Held Out by Australian Colonization and Emigration. a Me
In "Competence in a Colony Contrasted With Poverty at Home," the Colonisation Society presents a compelling argument for Australian colonization and emigration as solutions to economic woes in Great Britain. Addressed to Lord John Russell, this memorial from 1848 outlines the potential benefits of emigration for both landlords and laborers. The text contrasts the opportunities for achieving competence and prosperity in the Australian colonies with the pervasive poverty experienced at home.
The Colonisation Society advocates for a strategic approach to emigration, highlighting its potential to alleviate social and economic pressures in Britain while simultaneously fostering growth and development in the colonies. This document provides valuable insights into the socio-economic thinking of the mid-19th century and offers a historical perspective on the role of colonization in addressing domestic challenges.
