Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Collection of Scarce and Valuable Tracts and Other Publications, on the National Debt and the Sinking Fund: From the Originals of Harley, Gould, Pulteney, Walpole, Hume, Price, Hamilton, and Others, With a Preface, Notes, and Index This volume includes the principal tracts that have been published relating to the progress of the National Debt of Great Britain, its influence, and the more prominent plans that have been formed for its extinction. They are for the most part so very scarce that, for a lengthened period, they have been known only to a few curious inquirers. But the principles which they embody, and the powerful influence they have had over financial measures, make an acquaintance with them indispensable to those who would accurately trace the economical history and policy of the country. And we flatter ourselves that in rescuing several of these tracts from oblivion, and making them readily accessible, we have rendered a considerable service to the cause of historical and financial inquiry. Though of gigantic dimensions, the National Debt of Great Britain has been all but wholly contracted since the Revolution. That great event involved us in hostilities with Louis XIV, the most powerful monarch of his time, who espoused the cause of the Stuarts.
