Book Description
Excerpt from The Christian and Civic Economy of Large Towns, Vol. 1 Economists repudiate the moral ingredient as of vastly too ethereal a nature for their science - while moralists and divines on the other hand, are often found to recoil from Political Economy, as they would from a system of gross utilitarianism. From a late conversation with Mr Guiiot I could infer, that the affinity between these two subjects was still almost an entire novelty in F rance. In truth, it is nearly as little studied in England - though it be amply conceded by the philosophical statesman whom I have now named, that it is only in this quarter of speculation, where we shall meet with the solution of the most arduous problems in the art of government, or rather where the great pro blem of society can be fully and satisfactorily resolved.

Not illustrated. 1837 edition. Excerpt: ..." From the proportion being in my immediate neighbourhood, I find it no hardship to attend to the necessary business of this district, because I can make the time convenient for myself. Were it at a distance, on account of the many engagements which I necessarily have, in the management of a tolerably extensive concern, Ishould probably have to drop the charge of the district." 13. " Population 350." " Two paupers." " During last year I may have had irregular applications for aid, at the average of one every three mouths." " From half an hour to an hour each application." " When compared with the first year, 1820, that I had charge of this district, the applications are greatly reduced; indeed more than one-half." ' " Each investigation may occupy from half an hour to an hour; but the time spent generally in making inquiry into the different cases, may not have been more than an hour, at an. average, every three months." " I consider that a man, in ordinary business, would not find it a difiicult task in meeting the pauperism of this district; nor would the attention it requires, put him to any sensible inconvenience.," " In the outset of my taking charge of this proportion, January, l820, I was very doubtful of the success of the present system; at least, I had great fears that it would require much more attention, as well as expense, to meet the different cases, than I was led to understand would be necessary.

Excerpt from Christian and Economic Polity of a Nation: With Special Reference to Large Towns Tan: is a great deal of philanthropy afloat in this our day. At no period, perhaps, in the history of the human mind, did a desire of doing good so earnest, meet with a spirit of inquiry so eager, after the best and likeliest methods of carrying the desire into accomplishment. Amid all that looks dark and menacing inthe present exhibitions of society, this at least must be acknow ledged, -that never was there a greater quantity of thought em htked on those speculations which, whether with Christian or merely economical writers, have the one common object of pro mowg the worth and comfort of our species.
