To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Not only during the last four or five years, but duringthe whole course of the war, have the wages of manufacturing labourbeen subject to great fluctuations. Sometimes they have beenexcessively high, and at other times proportionably low; and evenduring a peace they must always remain subject to the fluctuationswhich arise from the caprices of taste and fashion, and thecompetition of other countries. These fluctuations naturally tend togenerate discontent and tumult and the evils which accompan...y them;and if to this we add, that the situation and employment of amanufacturer and his family are even in their best stateunfavourable to health and virtue, it cannot appear desirable that avery large proportion of the whole society should consist ofmanufacturing labourers. Wealth, population and power are, afterall, only valuable, as they tend to improve, increase, and securethe mass of human virtue and happiness. Yet though the condition of the individual employed in commonmanufacturing labour is not by any means desirable, most of theeffects of manufactures and commerce on the general state of societyare in the highest degree beneficial.
