Excerpt from On the Loans Raised by Mr. Pitt During the First French War, 1793-1801: With Some Statements in Defence of the Methods of Funding Employed
At this particular time the subject to which the Paper relates happens to possess some interest; and hence it has occurred, that, acting on representations and requests from a variety of quarters, I have been led to convert into a distinct publication a Paper intended in the first instance to be no more than an ordinary contribution to the Statistical Journal.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the Loans raised by Mr. Pitt, Prime Minister of Great Britain, during the First French War from 1793 - 1801. It argues that common perceptions and modern criticisms of Mr. Pitt's fiscal policies and choices made during the war are frequently reductive and overly simplistic and originate from a fundamental misunderstanding of the financial and political realities prevalent during this conflict. Whilst not absolving Mr. Pitt of all blame or suggesting that every decision he made was the correct one, this book instead provides a detailed counternarrative to the accusations of incompetence, arrogance, and wastefulness that have been levelled at him. It examines, one by one, the seven loans raised by Mr. Pitt during the war and argues that in almost every case, Pitt's approach was prudent, practical and the only one likely to succeed in the circumstances. The author believes that Mr. Pitt's financial stewardship during this period was essential to Britain's ultimate victory and that his policies deserve a deeper understanding.
