NOTICE.

WE have endeavoured, in the following Treatise, to resolve the most important of all economic problems —that is, to trace and exhibit the circumstances which determine the rate of wages and the condition of the labouring classes. We have tried to compress our solution within the narrowest limits, by stripping it of extraneous matter, and contenting ourselves with an elucidation of the leading principles on which it depends. Though of general application, our investigations have especial reference to the labouring classes of the United Kingdom. The wish, how vain soever it may prove to be, to contribute to their improvement, has alone led to the publication of this little work.

LONDON, November 1851.
