    Abstract

    The present paper aims at giving a concise account of the origin and development of the Homestead Laws of the United States, with notices of similar legislation to be found elsewhere. It next considers the practical working of the laws, and the various theories by which they are supported; and it finally endeavours to form some judgment as to the expediency of adopting the policy which is recommended to our attention.
