Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The United States Government, the Founder and Necessary Patron of the Liberian Republic: An Address Delivered Before the American Colonization Society, January 18, 1881
There are three classes of corporate bodies that are providing the money appropriations which sustain and promote these explorations; the two former of which have been sustained by Government action. First in natural order are commercial companies; since itis through commerce that the shores and ports of foreign lands are made known, and because the want of products, for the bodily welfare of advanced nations is the first to prompt enterprise. Second in order come scientific associations, including geographical and archaeological societies, whose explorations have the double end of Opening roads to commerce and of amassing knowledge, interesting or profitable to men as intellectual beings. Third in the list appear religious societies; including educational and missionary organizations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
