Robinson." Young's first visit to See also:France was made in 1787
.

.
The Travels in France appeared in 2 vols. in 1792
.
On his return See also:home he was appointed secretary of the See also:Board of Agriculture, then (1793) just formed under the See also:presidency of See also:Sir See also:John See also:Sinclair

See also:Arthur Young was the greatest of all English writers on agriculture; but it is as a social and political observer that he is best known, and his Tour in Ireland and Travels in France are still full of See also:interest and instruction
.
He saw clearly and exposed unsparingly the causes which retarded the progress of Ireland
.
He strongly urged the See also:repeal of the penal See also:laws which pressed upon the Catholics; he condemned the restrictions imposed by Great See also:Britain on the See also:commerce of Ireland, and also the perpetual interference of the Irish See also:parliament with See also:industry by prohibitions and bounties
.
He favoured a legislative union of Ireland with Great Britain, though he did not regard such a measure as absolutely necessary, many of its advantages being otherwise attainable
.
The See also:soil of France he found in general See also:superior to that of England, and its produce less.' Agriculture was neither as well understood nor as much esteemed as in England
.
He severely censured the higher classes for their neglect of it
.
" Banishment (from See also:court) alone will force the See also:French See also:nobility to execute what the English do for See also:pleasure—reside upon and adorn their estates." Young saw the commencement of violence in the rural districts, and his sympathies began to take the See also:side of the classes suffering from the excesses of the Revolution
.
This See also:change of attitude was shown by his publication in 1793 of a See also:tract entitled The Example of France a Warning to England
.
Of the profounder significance of the French outbreak he seems to have had little See also:idea, and thought the crisis would be met by a constitutional See also:adjustment in accordance with the English type
.
He strongly condemned the mitayer See also:system, then widely prevalent in France, as " perpetuating poverty and excluding instruction "—as, in fact, the ruin of the country
.
Some of his phrases have been often quoted by the See also:advocates of See also:peasant
See also:YOUGHAL
proprietorship as favouring their view
.
" The magic of property turns See also:sand to See also:gold
.
' " Give a See also:man the secure See also:possession of a See also:bleak See also:rock, and he will turn it into a See also:garden; give him a nine years' See also:lease of a garden, and he will convert it into a See also:desert." But these sentences, in which the epigrammatic See also:form exaggerates a truth, and which might seem to represent the possession of See also:capital as of no importance in agriculture, must not be taken as conveying his approbation of the system of small properties in general
.
He approved it only when the subdivision was strictly limited, and even then with great reserves; and he remained to the end what J
