Publisher description
Excerpt from An Essay on the Best Way of Developing Improved Political and Commercial Relations Between Great Britain and the United States of America Some light may be thrown upon the subject before us by looking at the relations of a couple of neighbouring families. We will suppose them to be of the same lineage, but independent of each other, and therefore equal before the law. Let one be of modern growth, but intelligent, ambitious, and enterprising, with an immense and compact domain, of vast resources, and rapidly rising in all that constitutes true worth and dignity; - the other, with a still wider domain, but circumscribed in a homestead, having vast accumulations of wealth, and ennobled with the highest titles achieved through a history of a thousand years. In what way are the most friendly relations to be developed and preserved between two such families? We shall have to provide against the influence of mutual rivalries, the intrigues of mutual enemies, and the errors and wrongs inseparable from poor human nature. The success of our experiment will depend upon the full and constant recognition of two facts: first, that the families are wholly distinct - that they are two, and not one; and, secondly, that for all the purposes of this inquiry they are to be regarded as on equal ground. No assumptions of superiority in the one, no admissions of inferiority in the other, are allowable, because, by the supposition, each is as independent as the other; and each in its voluntary relations is subject only to its own will.
