- [YOUNG, Gavin] An inquiry into the expediency of applying the principles of colonial policy to the government of India; and of effecting an essential change in its landed tenures, and, consequently in its inhabitants. London: J M Richardson, 1822 8vo, xvi + 382 + (2)pp, complete with the final advertisement/imprint leaf, contemporary maroon half roan, flat spine gilt. A very good copy. First edition. Goldsmiths 23526. Kress C.1011. McCulloch p.109. A follow-up study was published in 1828. "These works were written by Major Gavin Young, a gentleman of talent and varied attainments. No objection can be fairly made to the principle advanced in them, which, in fact, was adopted in the Act 3 and 4 Will.IV. c.85 for renewing the charter. But the author has much overrated the practical importance of allowing Englishmen to settle in India. If, indeed, we reflect for a moment on the nature of the climate, the density of population, and the low rate of wages, it will appear to be little better than visionary to imagine that voluntary emigration to India should ever be carried on to any considerable extent. And despite the abolition of the former restrictions it has continued to be quite inconsiderable." [McCulloch p.109] Price - £175 |
