Excerpt from The Colonisation of Scotland Glasgow Herald. They are reprinted by request. Mainly descriptive in their nature, they throw some light on an interesting development of our land system, and indicate the line upon which further important develop ments of a national character may be expected. The policy of land settlement here described has been a pronounced success. A measure is at present before Parliament extending the advantages of the system to the whole of Scotland, where it has been welcomed with enthusiasm. Those who look forward to the extension of small holdings in England will find the Scottish model of infinite value as compared with the costly and transient methods adopted in Ireland. The articles are now republished by the courtesy of the Editor and Proprietors of the Glasgow Herald. To the descriptive chapters an Introduction has been added which will put the reader in touch with the legislative aspects of the question.
