The Value And Importance Of The Scottish Fisheries Comprehending Fully Every Circumstance Connected With Their Present Position

Excerpt from The Value and Importance of the Scottish Fisheries: Comprehending Fully Every Circumstance Connected With Their Present Position In venturing before the British public with a work of the kind, it is the wish of the Author that he had possessed greater talent, the interest and importance of the subject to be treated being of the highest order. From its national bearing, there is solid ground for claim to public attention. The work has for its object the reanimating an interest in a most valuable branch of our commercial wealth. Our fisheries are in close alliance with the comforts and enjoyments of thousands of our fellow countrymen. They have an intimate connexion with general industry. It is abundantly obvious that the riches which through them could be created might be immense - distributed amongst the various classes of the whole community. There is no other source, indeed, which flows so directly home to the welfare of our northern population.
