Excerpt from Practical Notes Made During a Tour of Canada: And a Portion of the United States, in MDCCCXXXI
The sentiments of a candid and intelligent citizen of the States, lately expressed to me, de serve to be deeply weighed. Even, says he, with your present burden of debt, if your GO vernment were to renounce all interference with the affairs Of the Continent, and keep no more force, land or naval, than is necessary for your own security; have no more wars; and diminish the expenditure as much as possible; you would grow so rapidly in the next fifty years, that your debt would cease to be of any importance. I earnestly hope that the passage of the Reform Bill may he only the prelude to an entire change of system, and that your successors may feel, as we do here, that wars do not promote the pros perity Of a nation, and have the good sense to avoid them.
