Stran 1 - If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled ; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Stran 8 - Nicholls's grand and fatal mistake is this, — he started on the assumption that he must deal with destitution in Ireland as if it were the accident of individuals, instead of considering it as the essential and general condition of a class. It is this which has led him to propose, as a remedial measure, workhouses where one out of every 100 of the population might occasionally be relieved ; instead of suggesting some measure by which we might endeavour to find sufficient food for one-third of the...
Stran 39 - Our author, I believe, uses the word here in the same sense: Bring forth this counterfeit representation of a soldier. Malone. * —a double-meaning prophesier,] So, in Macbeth: " That palter with us in a double sense, " And keep the word of promise to our ear, "But break it to our hope.
Stran 9 - ... willing to labour, and can get no employment : it proves that the labourer cannot, by the utmost exertion of his industry, procure sufficient to support himself and his family throughout the year ; that he can make no attempt to supply them with comforts, since he has not even wherewithal to supply them with a sufficiency of necessaries ; and that the result of this state of things is a hideous and appalling mass of misery and destitution, amid which human beings, degraded by wretchedness to...
Stran 36 - In the words of the greatest of political philosophers, he has "a right to all that society, with all its combinations of skill and capital can do in his favour." In the words of one greater than man — the words in which is recorded the primeval sentence of our race — a sentence which contains at once the hard lot of the labouring man. and the great charter of his rights — a charter prior to the authority of states or the...
Stran 5 - Ireland ; and he has reported, as he might have done without going to Ireland at all, that it is possible ; and he has accordingly prepared a plan for dotting the country with workhouses, and for regulating and managing them. But. he has not touched— indeed he could not touch — upon the vital question, whether the establishment of workhouses would be a remedy for the state of things, which leaves a large proportion of our fellowbeings without sufficient food; and makes the condition of the poor...
Stran 33 - Irish people the 32 same as before, while it takes nothing1 from the number of the mouths that are to eat of it, it cannot well increase the average share that falls to each. Literally, we ask for bread, and you give us a stone : we want an increase of the quantity of eatables in the country, and you build workhouses.
Stran 40 - Lamington held office, he had only the responsible advice of one party, he might be considered biassed by them. He has given the pride of place to Queensland in the matter of natural resources. We are told that where the carcase is there will the eagles be gathered together, and you will find some application of that observation in the number of towns which Queensland possesses of a population exceeding 10,000. I find that, whereas New South Wales, with a population considerably more than double...
Stran 28 - What hindereth us to set our feet and hands in motion like all other of God's creatures to supply our wants?" How little, my Lord, can the man have pondered on this question, who thinks to answer it by a bill for erecting 100 workhouses to hold 800 paupers each...
Stran 42 - I have the honour to be, Mv Lord. Your Lordship's Most Obedient Humble Servant, RICHMOND, &c.
