Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Discourse Delivered Before the New-York Historical Society: At Their Anniversary Meeting, 6th December, 1811
The acquisition of supremacy over a 'country of such amazing extent and fertility, inhabited by warlike and numerous nations, must have been the result of unity of design and system of action proceeding from a wise and energetic policy, con' tinned for a long course of time. To their social combinations, military talents, and exterior ar rangements, we must look for this system, if such a system is to be found.
