Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thoughts on the Present State of Affairs With America, and the Means of Conciliation The agitation of violent passions confirms more powerfully each of the parties in their first prejudices; and, until some great calamity or some great and unavoidable danger occasions a pause, the voice of reason will in vain endeavour to make itself heard. The great question which has for many years agitated this country, concerning America, and has lighted the flames of civil war, affords a convincing proof, with how much violence persons of the first abilities, are capable of embracing the opposite sides of a doubtful public controversy, at the same time that it furnishes an interesting example, how very little mere force, is calculated to convince the understandings, or to remove the prejudices of mankind; and though much has been wrote and spoken upon the subject, on both sides of the Atlantic, it seems to me, that neither side have hitherto allowed a sufficient degree of weight to the arguments of their opponents; nor has the question, hitherto, been treated with that calmness, which promised to discover the truth, or with that impartiality, which was calculated to reconcile the natural prejudices of contending parties. Those who have at all accustomed themselves to reflection, are inclined on every occasion, to suspect the fairness of arguments, which are urged with too much zeal.
