of society may become, there can be but two other classes--those who, by intelligence or other means, become directors of labour-and those who by accumulation, or still higher intelligence, have become the employers of the other classes. The rules we laid down for the formation of these divisions were as follow: FIRST CLASS.-Heads of families possessing capital in wealth or in professional knowledge, or whose means of subsistence enable them to live without labour. In rural districts, this may include farmers of more than 50 acres. SECOND CLASS.-Heads of families who have some fixed income or employment; also, artizans who possess acquired capital in the knowledge of some trade; neither of which classes, however, is wholly exempt from labour. This may include farmers from five to fifty acres. THIRD CLASs.-Heads of families without capital in either money, land, or acquired knowledge, i. e. labourers, and persons who obtain the means of existence by employments which require little or no instruction. This may include small farmers up to five acres.—Page xviii. APPENDIX B. STATISTICS for Leinster, Ulster, Munster, and Connaught, and for the connection with Land, Population, Poor Rates, &c.
