Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Public Debt, Its Influence and Its Management Considered in a Different Point of View From Sir Henry Parnell in His Work on Financial Reform The debt of Great Britain, and its influence on the general welfare of the country, has given rise as yet to comparatively few controversies; nearly'all writers and orators having concurred in opinion, that it has been detrimental to thepublic interests and prosperity. Already, in the time of William III., when the debt was in its very infancy, it was called enormous. A writer of great reputation, then said, that England could not provide a revenue of more than two millions sterling, (equal to eight millions of the present time, ) without ruining her trade and manufactures. During the whole course of last century, we have seen every writer assail the debt. Hume declares, that if the nation does not destroy credit, credit will destroy the nation. Dr. Price says, that the evils and dangers of an exorbitant debt are so great, that they cannot be exaggerated, and that we have reached so nearly the end of our resources, that but little time is left to save us from impending ruin. An exorbitant debt, he adds, leads to despotism, towards which all Governments have a natural tendency. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
