Excerpt from Defence of Opposition With Respect to Their Conduct on Irish Affairs: With Explanatory Notes; Dedicated to the Right Honourable C. J. Fox
The revenue of every country is divided in modern times, into two kinds; 1 ft, the income of every individual fe parately, from whatever means: 2dly, the income of ail the individuals colleé'tively, which is called the public re venue, on the income of the flate.

But, the public revenue, however great and produétive it may be under late management, is depre?ed by many debts, funded and unfunded. It is apparent therefore, that the wifdom of our connie-ls ought to b chie?y occupied in firengthening the public revenue, which is thus feeble; leaving private incomes which are thus productive to the care of individuals, who are en titled to general protection, Without the particular inter ference of the fiate.
