Sinopsis

Excerpt from An Inquiry: Concerning the Rise and Progress, the Redemption and Present State and the Management of the National Debt of Great Britain and Ireland

In the middle ages, when the ferocious spirit which had formerly animated the northern nations, had in some degree subsided while commerce was still in its infancy, and little national wealth accumulated; wars were carried on languidly, and were generally of short duration. Their operations were frequently interrupt ed by truces, and sometimes discontinued through mere feebleness. A victorious army, conducted by a war like leader, was obliged to stop short in a successful career, from want of resources.

Excerpt from An Inquiry: Concerning the Rise and Progress, the Redemption and Present State and the Management of the National Debt of Great Britain and Ireland

The author of the following Inquiry has attended for a course of years to the progress of the national debt, from the interest which he felt as a member of the community in a subject of so much importance, and which has now assumed so alarming an aspect. As he has observed that many persons, in general well informed, were imperfectly acquainted with the facts, and entertained crude views of the principles of finance, he trusts that what he now submits to the public may not be altogether useless.

In the first part, he lays down and enforces some general principles of' finance. A person unacquainted with the management of our national debt, may blame him for bestowing labour to prove truisms, or principles which cannot be controverted; but to those who know that our financial measures have been conducted for a course of years upon opposite principles, the arguments adduced will not appear unnecessary.
