Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of Political Economy
Men are seen in their most improved condition, when associated together in large communities. The excite ments Of competition are then most strongly felt - enter prise and exertion are called forth and liberally rewarded. It is then that leisure and opportunity are found for the exercise and improvement of the mental powers; thus knowledge is increased and spread abroad, and the various arts and sciences cultivated and advanced towards perfec tion. In this state, too, the social affections are freely indulged, and the refined love Of country, Of family and friends, is awakened and cherished.
