Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Considerations on the Effects of Protecting Duties: In a Letter to a Newly-Elected Member of Parliament The historians of Rome have not handed down to us any considerable details of the commercial systems of the old world; nor does the reasoning of Lemosthenes apply itself much to the policy of trading nations Yet it is something to have been in the habit of acquiring. A mind accustomed in this manner to furnish itself with the ideas of other men, will more readily gain upon any subject however novel it may be, than one which has to acquire its materials for thought and its habits of thinking together. Of all the knowledge which you can possess, the knowledge of commerce in its general principles and in its detail of facts, will prove of most honour to yourself, and of most profit to your country. The time at which this knowledge must prove most singularly beneficial, will be during the present session of parliament. And during the present session of parliament, no question of commerce can arise which will involve so much of the rising prosperity of the kingdom, as that which will come in the first instance before you for determination - the question of protecting duties. In the decision of this question will be laid the foundation of the commercial system of Ireland. You perceive then how you are pressed, scarcely any thing as yet known, and almost every thing to be instantly decided; this at once then shews you my inducement, and constitutes my apology. The spirit of the Irish nation has been already tried; its wisdom must shortly be discovered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
