To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Without meriting animadversion, it may be asserted, that the American government and habits are more conducive to wealth and population than the governments and habits in iht North 29 of Europe — ^Wherefore we infer, that the present British provinces under an American government, would exceed Den-mark, Sweden, and the Northern Region of Russia, in population and wealth — be- cause more favored by moral, political, and physical causes. The same character of enterprise, of successful industry, a...nd intelligence, which distinguished the United States, will be acquired by the future citizens of these provinces. Hence the future value of these provin- ces cannot be far below the present value of the United States. Our treasury would be refunded by its riches, our losses repaired by its numbers. The principles ®f mercantile speculation, justify the sub- jugation of these dominions. Not only would the costs of conquest be refunded, but an immense revenue ensured. Their population has doubled, and their commerce quadrupled since our revolution — nor can we suppose their future increase will be languid.
