Book Description
Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the State of the British West Indies Another coalition against France has failed, and has served only to consolidate the greatness which it was intended to humble. Britain must now seek, in a judicious direction of her own resources, that success which she has in vain expected from the cc-operation of her allies. It is worthy of the spirit which we inherit from our ancestors, to bid defiance to a presump tuous enemy, and to meet, undisn'myed, the den gers which have overwhelmed our weaker neigh bours. The means we possess amply justify our confidence, for they require only a skilful de -velopement to render us invincible. Our num bers, our wealth, and, above all, the free and undaunted character of our people, form a bul wark, against which the efforts of France will he directed in vain.
