Description
Excerpt from Illustrations of Political Economy, Vol. 1 of 9: Live in the Wilds; The Hill and the Valley; Brooke and Brooke Farm
IN an enlightened nation like our own, there are followers of every science which has been marked out for human pursuit. There is no study which has met with entire neglect from all classes of our countrymen. There are men of all ranks and every shade of Opinion, Who study the laws of Divine Providence and human duty. There are many more who inquire how the uni verse was formed and under what rules its move ments proceed. Others look back to the records of society and study the history of their race. Others examine and compare the languages of many nations. Others study the principles on which civil laws are founded, and try to discover what there has been of good as well as of evll in the governments under which men have lived from the time of the patriarchs till now. Others -but they are very few - inquire into the prin ciples which regulate the production and distri bution of the necessaries and comforts of life in society.
