| Title |
The employment of the people and the capital of Great Britain in her own colonies, at the same time assisting emigration and penal arrangements by undertaking a great national work; and thus opening the shortest road to the most extensive regions of wealth ever before at the command of any nation in the world (not regions of gold, but for commerce and industry), so that at no future period (within at least the imagination of man) will Great Britain have to complain either of too great a population on her soil, or too small a market for her labour. All this fully explained in a letter from Major Robert Carmichael-Smyth to his friend the author of "The Clockmaker," containing thoughts on the subject of a British colonial railway communication between the Atlantic and the Pacific, from the magnificent harbour of Halifax, in Nova Scotia (north-eastern America), to the mouth of Frazer's River, in New Caledonia (north-western America), or such other port as may be determined upon
