PREFACE.

IN the preface to a pamphlet entitled "Pleas for Protection Examined," which I published in February of this year, I stated that it formed a part of, and would be re-incorporated in, a larger work on which I was then engaged. Accordingly, it

will be found that the greatest portion of that pamphlet is introduced into the present work, of which it occupies 47 pages, viz., p. 169 to 216.

I also desire to point out that, while, in the chapter on Land at p. 251 of this work, I set forth certain contingent difficulties that may arise out of the limited supply of land and the unlimited growth of population, I have carefully abstained from discussing the remedial measures which may, at some time or other, have to be adopted. therefore, disclaim all inferences tending to identify me with any of the theories or schemes that have been, or may be, broached with a view to solve the difficulties in question.

AUGUSTUS MONGREDIEN.
