Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mr. Dallas´s Letter on the Mexican Treaty: Re-Printed From the Public Ledger of June 15, 1849 My Dear Sir: - I cannot agree with your conclusion as to the doubtful effects of our treaties in general. It is hardly fair to say that we have been out-witted in the game of diplomacy. In truth, we have mostly attained what we aimed to attain, and have very seldom yielded to a proposition without being quite convinced that its operations would be beneficial to ourselves. Perhaps we have indulged too much eagerness for treaty-making - sometimes forcing artificial relations where nature never intended any to exist - sometimes deluded by theories of trade, and now and then impelled by a generous sentiment, or allured by a plausible profession. Like true Yankees, we have occasionally found delight in making a bargain, merely for bargaining´s sake. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
