Conceiving it to be not only the right, but the duty of every man to propose such measures as may appear to him conducive to the public good, I have undertaken, in the following sheets, to trace our present distresses to their source, and to point Out those effectual remedies for them which may tend to restore prosperity to the Bri tish empire. Unpractised as I am in literary composition, I find it necessary to communicate my thoughts to the public in the Simplest form; and I have accordingly thrown them into a Series Of Dialogues, supposed to take place between a Minister of State and a Representative of the Landed, Monied, Mercantile, and other Interests, of this and other countries; the parties entering on the inquiry with equal integrity, candour, and intelligence.
