Thus, employment for capital and labour would be increased in two places and two ways at the same time; abroad, in the Colonies, by the removal of capital and people to fresh fields of production; at home, by the extension of markets, or the importation of food and raw materials.” His views These enthusiasts for colonisation were more successful in 0 their analysis of existing conditions than in their practical efforts in regard to the planting of new lands. The promoters of new enterprises were obliged to oppose the traditional policy of the Colonial Office, and they are hardly to be blamed for the defects of schemes which had only given a partial embodiment to their views. They regarded economic considerations as of primary importance in connection with colonisation, but they did not neglect political and social points as well. In 1830 they established a society for pro- moting systematic colonisation ; from that time onwards they were increasingly successful in obtaining public attention. They failed to get their principles thoroughly and consist- ently applied in any region, but they were able to introduce important modifications in the plans that were carried out with regard to South Australia?; and Wakefield had a large share in promoting the Company which colonised New Zealand’. They had to insist once more on the common- sense principles which had been set forth by John Smith in regard to Virginia. They held that a serious wrong had been done in the preceding half-century, since emigration had been for the most part the mere deportation of convicts* and paupers, instead of the systematic planting of a civilised community.

A Parliamentary Committee was appointed on the subject in 1779, and » statute e@powering the King in Council to create Convict Settlements was passed in 1783 (24 Geo. IIL. c. 65). Another Committee on Transportation was appointed in 1837, and reported against the continuance of the system (Reports, 1838, xxiI. 46), which was still retained in New South Wales, Van Diemens Land. Bermuda, and Norfolk Island.
