ESSAY

ON

THE RATE OF WAGES.

"We cannot refrain from expressing an opinion that another and a greater
matter than that between the advocates and opponents of poor-laws remains
behind-namely, an examination of the necessity which is supposed to entail
pauperism on society.”—Athenæum, July 18, 1835.
