Summary: "Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Volume 65, No. 403, May, 1849" by Various is a collection of essays and articles written in the mid-19th century. This volume includes diverse topics such as colonization theories, national education in Scotland, and reflections on societal issues in various countries. The likely themes indicate a blend of literary, political, and philosophical discourse, showcasing the intellectual currents of the time. The opening of this volume presents a thorough exploration of colonization, focusing particularly on Edward Gibbon Wakefield's theory. The text posits that England is uniquely positioned to expand its influence through colonization, promoting the idea that this effort could alleviate both national overpopulation and provide a prosperous future for colonists. There is a robust critique of Wakefield's 'sufficient price' concept for land in colonies, arguing against the artificial restrictions it places on laborers and highlighting the complexities involved in colonization. The author suggests that the practicality and motivations of emigrants must be considered in discussing the future of colonization, challenging the simplistic views that have often accompanied the subject.
