About This Book

This collection presents three didactic tales that use narrative scenes to illustrate principles of political economy. One story follows a return to a Caribbean plantation and examines slavery's legal, moral, and economic effects; other tales depict rural households and Highland communities to consider land tenure, labor, and domestic industry. Across descriptive passages, character interactions, and explicit argumentative sections, the essays analyze how laws, property arrangements, and social customs shape prosperity, poverty, and moral relations, blending realistic incident with reasoned argument to make economic concepts accessible to general readers.

Transcriber’s Note:

The volume is a collection of three (apparently) already published texts, each with its own title page, table of contents, and pagination. The table of contents for all three is repeated at the opening of the volume. All chapters are linked from the ‘mater’ table, but not from the redundant tables in the second and third texts.

Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcriber’s note at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any textual issues encountered during its preparation.

The image of the blank front cover has been cleaned up and enhanced with basic data from the title page, and, so modified, is placed in the public domain.

Any corrections are indicated using an underline highlight. Placing the cursor over the correction will produce the original text in a small popup.

Any corrections are indicated as hyperlinks, which will navigate the reader to the corresponding entry in the corrections table in the note at the end of the text.
