Preface.
"a competent knowledge of the subject with the additional
"advantage or Parliamentary habits and talents."
That "it is easier to censure than to correct" we all know
well enough without reading a writer, whose habits rare
talents are capable of being so much better employed
to be at the trouble to inform us. But if indeed in
matters of this nature it be difficult (and certainly it
is but too difficult) to correct, it will hardly be the less
difficult for any thing that is said by writers of merit
and authority to magnify the notion of the difficulty.
On the contrary, be the difficulty what it may, this is
the way of all others to encrease it. The number of
those adventurous and caustic spirits who, unbidden
and unpaid, devote themselves to the service of this
country in this most arduous line of duty is not
so great, this patriot hand is not so numerous,
as to need any discouragements to make it less so.
