Emigration from the United Kingdom to North America, 1763-1912 (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1913, this valuable and scholarly work is an account of the flow of population from the British Isles to the United States and Canada during the nineteenth century and the author's extensive researches into government reports and papers has brought together a great deal of material which gives his book an important place as an authority on British emigration.

The work begins with a short historical survey in which the author discusses the causes of emigration before treating the subject topically as a series of political and economic problems. He gives a detailed account of the transport and reception of emigrants, of emigration restrictions and colonisation schemes, and of the emigration of women and children, and presents with much force the conflict of interests that grew up between England and her colonies respecting migration.

This must still be regarded as an authoritative work on the subject and its bibliography will be of great value to all students of the period.

Inhaltsangabe

Chapter I Preliminary Survey: 1763-1815; Chapter II Historical Survey:
1815-1912; Chapter III The Causes of Emigration; Chapter IV Unassisted and
Assisted Emigration; Chapter V The Transport of Emigrants; Chapter VI
Immigration Restrictions; Chapter VII The Reception of Immigrants; Chapter
VIII The Destination of British Emigrants; Chapter IX Land Systems
Affecting the Immigrant in North America; Chapter X 1For the sake of
continuity and comparison, it has been deemed inexpedient in this chapter
to confine the subject-matter to the North American Continent. 2Emigration
differs from colonisation in that the former suggests a movement from one
land to another of people who intend to make their permanent homes in the
country of reception, whilst the latter infers not only the idea of
movement to a new country, but also settlement on the land, usually in
considerable numbers within a circumscribed area (cf. ); Chapter XI The
Emigration of Women; Chapter XII The Emigration of Children; Chapter XIII
The Economic and Social Value of Emigration and Immigration; Chapter XIV
