Yet this personage really does exist, not indeed as an individual, but as representing the aggregate character and feeling of our country. The British people, in comparison with all other nations, are exactly in the position of the person thus pour tray ed. They are wealthy beyond pre- cedent in past or present times. They are generous and liberal in many things. They waste annually in 76 bad debts and abortive speculations a sum larger tban the whole annual expenses of the State ; yet they all...ow themselves to be persuaded that their weal or woe depends upon some trifling increase or diminution in a fraction of this expenditure. They are sometimes seized with such a fit of parsimony, that it is with the greatest difficulty they can be persuaded to maintain the military and naval de- fences of the country in such a condition as not to invite hostile attack ; and at all times they are worse prepared in this respect than any other civilized people, although, from their social and economical condition, they would suffer more than any other from an interruption in the public tranquillity.
