Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Appeal to Experience and Common Sense: By a Comparison of the Present With Former Periods It is the duty of every friend to his country, to dispel prejudices unfavourable to its prosperity, and it is fortunate when that can be done by the easy reference to past experience and to historic testimony. It is by dwelling too much on present appearances and current opinions that we become deceived in our judgment of periods that are near, as well as those that arc remote; yet it is rather surprizing that we should submit to a fallacy so inconsistent with the mass of information which for the last fifty years, at least, has been regularly and liberally submitted to the public, on all national transactions. If, as I universally acknowledged, the state of public affairs can be judged only by comparison, if prosperity or adversity arc relative terms, it is unaccountable that we should deprive ourselves of the only documents by which such a comparison may be formed, and such relations understood.
