Land and Labour : The Potters' Emigration Society, 1844-51

This book is a history of the Potters' Emigration Society from its founding in 1844 to its dissolution in early 1851. The Society, which became a national organisation after 1848, sought to solve the problems of surplus labour by turning workers into frontier farmers. It was the most significant industrial emigration scheme of its period.
