Excerpt from First Principles Polit Political Economy: Concisely Presented for the Use of Classes in High Schools and Academies
From several quarters, there came a call for a concise compend of the principles of Political Economy, which could be used as a text-book for advanced classes in high schools and academies. In this little book, the author has attempted to respond to that call. He has not tried to make a book for children, nor to make the science easy for youth of more maturity; but he has endeavored simply and clearly, in as few words as possi ble, to present the subject for the study of persons who have learned something of the power of language, and have been trained to think and reason for themselves.
