SADLER ( Michael T. ). Ireland ; its evils, and their remedies : being a refutation of the errors of the Emigration Committee and others, touching that country. To which is prefixed, a synopsis of an original treatise, about to be published, on the Law of Population ; developing the real principle on which it is universally regulated. John Murray, 1828FIRST EDITION, pages (12), lviii, 414, 8vo, near contemporary polished calf, gilt bordered sides, gilt panelled spine, with double and contrasting labels, gilt : a very good copy First edition of an important work by this social reformer and political economist. It is, in effect, a protest against the application of individualistic political economy to the problem of Irish distress, including much on the social condition of the people, absenteeism, emigration, free trade, population, etc. He proposes the establishment of a poor law in Ireland on the principle that in proportion to its means "wealth should be compelled to assist destitute poverty, but that, dissimilar to English practice, assistance should in all cases, except in those of actual incapacity from age or disease, be closely connected with labour".IRELAND; ECONOMICS; POPULATION; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;
