About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1777.

His wisest schemes are frequently opposed; he finds himself obliged to accomplish his designs by indirect means, and, as he ventures on hazardous experiments, those who create his perplexities are ever ready to triumph in his mistakes, and make their profit of his losses. Administration commonly acts under one head; opposition has all the disadvantages of anarchy and confus...
