Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letter to James Monroe, Esq.: President of the United States, on the State of the Country The author of the following letter has been induced to pay great attention to the state of the country particularly as relates to its foreign relations, in consequence of certain improvements necessary to be made in his literary and topographical works. From every view which he could take of the state of society generally since the last peace, he has been impressed with the belief that foreign commerce would be very limited and precarious for some time; and he considered that it would be sound policy to "protect and encourage our internal industry," as the only means of making us an independent and prosperous nation. These sentiments were communicated to the public, in a letter addressed to the President of the United States, two years ago. He is now of opinion that we have reached a crisis, and a change must take place, either by legislation or the force of circumstances. The present is therefore judged a favourable period for taking a new view of the subject, which is done in the following pages and it is most respectfully submitted to the consideration of the President of the United States and constituted authorities of the country; and to his fellow citizens generally. In order to form data whereon to ground the calculations, it became necessary to make an estimate of the exports and imports since the peace. This was a work of great labour and difficulty, particularly as relates to the imports. It is observed that the same difficulty occurred to the Committee on Commerce and Manufactures in the Senate of the United States, who have made a very elaborate report on the subject, presenting some new views which the author has availed hims.elf of; and as the subject is exceedingly interesting, as connected with the present enquiry, a new view is taken of it in the appendix.
