Murmur and difcontent having produced timidity: our intefiine foes to peace and civil' tranquility have Joyfully feized the opportu' nity of encreafmg the latter by exciting the 'former with all the deep mouthed 'thunder of difafi'eéiion and treafon.

We have rapidly advanced from the mild the generous, the philanthmpic attempt of abolifhrng the flave trade, through the pro pofed repeal of the teft act, and a parlia mentary reform, till we have long finc'e happily arrived at the grand climax of: trea fonable oratory, and the walls ofalmoft every petty.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, written in the midst of the turmoil of the Napoleonic Wars, persuasively argues against the alarmism surrounding Great Britain's financial and military state. The author deftly employs lucid economic principles, historical examples, and biting wit to demonstrate the inherent strength of the British economy and the absurdity of fears surrounding a French invasion. Drawing from Britain's long and successful history of self-defense, the author emboldens readers to not only reject the defeatist rhetoric of the day but to confront the threat with resilience and determination. Through an incisive analysis of the nature of wealth, taxation, and the limits of state power, this book provides a vital historical perspective on themes that remain relevant to this day.
