Seite iv - I conceive it to be the duty of every educated person closely to watch and study the time in which he lives; and, as far as in him lies, to add his humble mite of individual exertion to further the accomplishment of what he believes Providence to have ordained.
Seite iv - ... we are living at a period of most wonderful transition, which tends rapidly to accomplish that great end, to which, indeed, all history points — the realisation of the unity of mankind. Not a unity which breaks down the limits and levels the peculiar characteristics of the different nations of the earth, but rather a unity, the result and product of those very national varieties and antagonistic qualities.
Seite 363 - The practice of funding has gradually enfeebled every state which has adopted it. The Italian republics seem to have begun it. Genoa and Venice, the only two remaining which can pretend to an independent existence, have both been enfeebled by it. Spain seems to have learned the practice from the Italian republics, and (its taxes being probably less judicious than theirs) it has...
Seite iv - Nobody, however, who has paid any attention to the peculiar features of our present era, will doubt for a moment that we are living at a period of most wonderful transition, which tends rapidly to accomplish that great end to which, indeed, all history points, the realisation of the Unity of Mankind...
Seite 153 - Not to govern too much ;' which, perhaps, would be of more use when applied to trade, than in any other public concern. It were therefore to be wished, that commerce were as free between all the nations of the world, as it is between the several counties of England ; so would all, by mutual communication, obtain more enjoyments. Those counties do not ruin each other by trade, neither would the nations.
Seite 395 - Memoire sur le Commerce de la France et de ses Colonies. Paris, 1789.
Seite iv - Let them be careful, however, to avoid any dictatorial interference with labour and employment, which frightens away capital, destroys that freedom of thought and independence of action which must remain to every one if he is to work out his own happiness, and impairs that confidence under which alone engagements for mutual benefit are possible.
Seite 153 - Those counties do not ruin each other by trade, neither would the nations. No nation was ever ruined by trade, even, seemingly the most disadvantageous. Wherever desirable superfluities are imported, industry is excited, and thereby plenty is produced. Were only necessaries permitted to be purchased, men would work no more than was necessary for that purpose.
Seite 364 - If the sum received in dividends on the national debt were paid in taxes, and if these two sums precisely coincided in amount, and if there were no expenses of collection, and if the taxes did not interfere with the production of wealth, the national debt would not diminish the national wealth, though it could not augment it. " It would be a mere matter of distribution. " But the expense of collecting the national revenue, and the interference of taxation with production, are so much pure loss, and...
Seite 357 - ... would be held fast by one common interest. Thus it might be, and thus it surely will be. It is only a question of time. But the sooner the better, for time must always be a question of life and death. We might then hope to see the world governed by more generous principles than it has ever yet been. We might then hope to see the world full of free nations : mankind a great family and household constituted of self-governing members, related to each other principally by voluntary ties, — of affection...
