dc.description.abstract | Amongst all the various sources of national wealth, undoubtedly
land is the one of most importance ; and though we may not be disposed
to go the length of the school of French economists who
regarded it as the only real wealth, and those employed in its cultivation
as the only profitable labourers, still it is impossible not to
regard it as the foundation and support of all others. It was in
the surplus produce of the soil that manufactures first found its
capital, and it was amongst those who owned that surplus that manufacturers
found their purchasers. And if at the present day the
enormous value of a foreign trade, and the accumulated wealth of
our manufacturers have appeared to make those other sources of
wealth apparent rivals to the land in the production of national
prosperity, it must never be forgotten how precarious and uncertain
their continued existence as such must ever be, when compared
with the land. | en |
