To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1 This increased con- sumption therefore is not quite one 43rd part of the whole. Now what should we say to the master of a family who should allege that he has wherewithal to maintain 43 persons, but that if a single individual were added, it would be productive of the greatest distress to the whole ? Is there a man deserving of the name of a Briton who can entertain so mean an opinion of the spirit and resources of his country, or who can employ so pitiful an argument to vilify the public cou...nsels, or to cramp those national ex- ertions so salutary, and at this moment so indispensable to the public welfare and defence. There is no point better ascertained from authentic history, than that war, whether foreign or civil, has had no effect in creating scarcity. The prices which have been extracted from public records both by authors and parliamentary committees, are completely in proof of this. It may be asked, whence has arisen the popular persuasion of the contrary, a per- suasion which has been so cruelly abused by the factious and igno- rant, for the purpose of exciting public discontent ?
