Excerpt from An Answer to War in Disguise: Or Remarks Upon the New Doctrine of England Concerning Neutral Trade
The Pamphlet, entitled War in Disguise, on which we are about to make some remarks, is the production of no mean ability. 7c have been told, that it was written by direction of the Eng lish cabinet. This, however, we do not believe, since it shows a want of that caution and re serve, which usually mark the compositions of public men; our respect also for the British mi nister, will not permit us to suppose that, even hastily or in a convivial moment, he would assent to the general scope and tenor of this work; much less, that he would initiate its dangerous doctrine, after serious thought and mature delibe ration. We shall, therefore, treat the argument with freedom, unrestrained by any of that defer ence which delicacy would impose, if we believed ourselves addressing, even at second hand, the minister of a great monarch.
