Excerpt from The Trade of the World: Our Present System of Commerce Examined
The great question to be solved, it appears to me, is not under what system are we most likely to have single years of prosperity followed by four or five years of stagnation but, how we can preserve a steady, continuous, and, if possible, an increasing commercial intercourse both with foreign nations and our own colonies.
Latterly, our thoughts have naturally been mainly turned to our armies in Africa and Afghanistan; in common with, I may say nearly every Englishman, I have eagerly scanned the telegrams from St. Vincent telling us how our brave soldiers were faring at the Cape, heartily regretted to see the news of a disaster, and scanned with deep pleasure the accounts of a success e'en as I write these lines many an anxious heart at home must be with our armies near Cabul.
