Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Second Letter to the Editor of the Edinburgh Weekly Journal: From Malachi Malagrowther, Esq. On the Proposed Change of Currency, and Other Late Alterations, as They Affect, or Are Intended to Affect, the Kingdom of Scotland It was when Esau came from the harvest, faint and at point to die, that Jacob proposed to him his exorbitant bargain of the mess of pottage. There is a deep and typical mystery under the scriptural transaction; but, taken as a simple fact, the sottish facility of the circumvented heir rather aggravates the unfeeling selfishness of the artful brother, to whom he was made a dupe. The "whoreson Apoplexy" of Scotland may be rather a case of repletion than exhaustion, but it has the same dispiriting effects. Yet, into whatsoever deep and passive slumber our native country may have been lulled from habits of peaceful acquiescence, the Government have now found a way to awaken her. The knife has gone to the very quick, and the comatose patient is roused to most acute possession of his feelings and his intellect. The heather is on fire far and wide; and every man, woman, and child in the country, are bound by the duty they owe to their native land, to spread the alarm and increase the blaze.
