Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journey From Buenos Ayres, Through the Provinces of Cordova, Tucuman, and Salta, to Potosi, Thence by the Deserts of Caranja to Arica, and Subsequently, to Santiago De Chili and Coquimbo, Vol. 1 of 2: Undertaken on Behalf of the Chilian and Perubian Mining Association, in the Years 1825-26 It must be allowed, that while there was a great deficiency of judgment displayed, in the organization and constitution of these compa nies, nothing before in our commercial annals could be found, comparable to the un-english like way in which some of them were suffered to become defunct, at a time when, despite of errors committed, they might be said to be fairly established; and further, whatever were the causes of the late panic, or the 'history of the circumstances attending the dissolution of so many joint stock companies, (and volumes might be filled with their enumeration, ) it will be admitted that the public deserved no small share of blame, for its precipitation and cre dulity, of which, in so many instances, designing knaves took advantage. This, however, is no reason why the principle of such undertakings should be contemned, for if so, the public funds of the nation may be assailed with equal justice.
