Book Description

Excerpt from Practical Observations on the Report of the Bullion-Committee, 1810 "Reasoning on things by figures is the way," says, Sir William Davenant, "to come to sure conclusions." - To reason in this mode, exclusively, is the object of the present work. - The things to he reasoned upon are the opinions of the Bullion-Committee; and the figures to be employed are chiefly those contained in the Appendix to its Report. Abstract reasoning is foreign to my purpose; my observations will be founded wholly on facts, and these will be introduced with such details only as are necessary to render their application intelligible to those who have not the Report, with its Appendix, immediately before them.
