      I THE COLONIZATION OF NEW ZEALAN ^*

      Untitled Article

      When England attained her maturity as a nation , in the Augustan age of Elizabeth , she began to produce offspring ; and she cannot be said to have intermitted the work of founding or nourishing new colonies

      during the two centuries that have intervened . Her family , which is spread abroad over the great globe ( but more happily than the scattered countrymen of the pious iEneas ) , re-echoes her language from pole to pole , through the

      fervour ot the lropics . An English shilling will fetch its worth , and sometimes a trifle morej in every quarter of the world . The energy of the people has overflowed the bounds of its field of employment , and , repressed even to pain by the narrow circle of its sea-beaten cliffs , has traversed the ocean in all directions . It

      has been found that a country flourishes all the more for a good pruning . Practice should make perfect , and twq hundred years might have sufficed to enable England to learn how to plant a colony in a , , workman-like manner . Yet , in fact , the art of colonization remains rto better !

      understood , in our . $ wn time , that when Raleigli sent out colony after coldtiy to perish through ignorance ^ in a stran ge land , or when- the pedant James I . set his uncouth hand to a code of blundering

      regulations . The two great elements of national wealth , labour anil its offspring coadjutor , capital , which seem to possess withi ^ themselves the endless seeds ! c * f multiplication ^ show U >' - 'tendency to outgo the thirdy ^ the field of employment , which ? * -is

      more inert in the jDrocjeM ' > of increase . To meet this ^ 'tendency , which in the- '* < && £ '* &f capital has only been l&tfely recognized , the constant effdrt will be to enlarge tha field-of employment . One means of doing so is by colonization . The division of employments ,

      too , so popularly illustrated by Adam Smith in the mode of manufacturing a pin , as much augments the power of production when applied to nations as to individuals ; and' colonies afford ; not merely . 4 > vent for the surplus population and surplus capital of a mother country , but ar $ . caterers , f 6 » her as well , as tth ^ msejives in , the storehouse of
