Background
THORNTON, William Thomas was born in 1813 in Burnham, Somerset, England.
(Excerpt from Over-Population and Its Remedy: Or an Inquir...)
Excerpt from Over-Population and Its Remedy: Or an Inquiry Into the Extent and Causes of the Distress Prevailing Among the Labouring Classes of the British Islands, and Into the Means of Remedying It The only Preface which a work of this kind requires is an apology for the defects of its execution. Instead of pleading the claims of the poor to an earnest investigation of their distresses, one would be almost rather disposed to wonder that any other subject can be esteemed of national interest while this most momentous problem remains unsolved. The author, therefore, need take no pains to justify his choice of a subject; and he only wishes that he had equal cause to be satisfied with his treatment of it. Of his motive for writing at all, it can only be said, that "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." With zeal for the cause he has espoused, he is amply, perhaps too amply, supplied, and he has spared no exertion to make up for the want of more sterling qualities. Perhaps, indeed, diligence was really the most indispensable requisite for his task. The volume now offered to the public has little claim to originality, and does not pretend to be the herald of any new discovery.

This discussion of the productivity of small farms, and the social and moral effects of peasant proprietorship includes an appraisal of the effects of peasant proprietorship in France and its suitability to Irish agriculture. Thornton's friend, J.S. Mill, in the chapter on 'Peasant Proprietors' in his Principles, characterized the Plea as "a book which, by the excellence of both its materials and of its execution, deserves to be regarded as the standard work on that side of the question." Revived in 1870, it influenced the passage of the Irish Land Act of the same year.

Some years ago, while the discussions which terminated in the passing of the I rish Landlord and Tenant A ct were at their height, it came greatly into request, and I was strongly urged by the late Mr. Mill and other friends to republish it ;but to do so required an amount of preliminary labour for which I neither then had, nor have since, until recently, been able to find, leisure. For the last few months, however, my spare half-hours have been occupied with little else. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Such a work as this if published a few years ago might have been expected to attract but little notice. The question of which it treats was theii somewhat prematurely regarded as finally settled, and an attempt to revive it, if not resented as an impertinent intrusion on public attention, would probably have been received with that scornful indiflference with which antiquarian dissertations are commonly received by the busier portion of mankind.

(Excerpt from Indian Public Works: And Cognate Indian Topi...)
Excerpt from Indian Public Works: And Cognate Indian Topics Public Works have always formed rather a weak side of Anglo-Indian administration, and nothing can be farther from the design of this volume than to eulogize either the East India Company's management of them, or that of the Viceroyalty, by which the Company's domination has been superseded. It is, however, rather absolutely than relatively that the management of either has been at fault. Since the fall of the Roman Empire, there has never been a Government whose strong side has been Public Works; and among existing Governments, there certainly is not one which, from the height of these latter, would be warranted in casting disdainful glances on the Anglo-Indian.
