Rid yourselves
List Profitable
1.
From the dominion
kept or only fought
for, advantage non
except to those who acknowledge
it not: suffering,
vast on both
sides
2.
Of emancipation, see
the advantages in the
very Proclamation
end, to prevent it:
sympathy and connection
produced by sameness
of "language, religion,
"laws and customs" -
bonds existing - of dominions
continued says
the orator: if it ceases
says. Few the words:
great and good the
meaning
Added by Proclamation
"virtues": stretch
out by 113 as
added here on recollection
of conflict on this
head is particularised
by Townsend II.358:
as quoted in s.3
with such advantages
over every other nation,
what more would
you have? had your
productions, not to
speak of person, if they
do not obtain the preference
3.
Only in proportion to
capital, can anything in
any case be done. Patience
you shall see it
flowing in: without penal
laws or conducts
which, on pretence of
enlarging, do but stop
the stream.
List Profitable
4.
Quantities, proportions, figures
would you have?
In Seybert's observatory
an excellent telescope:
seen in it not Spain
and Spanish america
indeed: but England and
English do - to this purpose,
the same thing.
From U.S next year after
relinquishment, money's
worth received more
than ever before. Why not
so in Spain's ease? So
great the advantage when
the relinquishment was
extorted, how much greater
if spontaneous.
5.
Now, if content with
such prophecy as history
gives, behold the figures
Seybert's statistical annals
Philadelphia 1818, 4th 285.
Field geographical of the
observations, England and
U.S: subject matters, exports
of another country
to these colonies, at the
two periods.
1. Before the emancipation
to the 13 U.S
of three years, ending
1773, no more than
£3,064.853. Reals
306,484,300 - next year
after emancipation
Ao. 1784, already £3,359,864
- Reals 335,986,400
6.
True, the original number,
Ao 17 no more
than 13: now 22. But
the 9. are but offsets from
the original stock: subject
of the question, if
not geographical position
nor even number of inhabitants
6.
-but value of goods purchased,
by the same nation
as the different periods:
subjection and
independence.
7.
This explained, see the
account of 1817, latest
yeat in Seybert, Exports
from U.S to England,
Dollars 43, 468,242
4/6 per Dollar t9,786,354.
Reals 978,635,400.
True for intervening diversities
in value of money
allowance should
be made. But against
error, this memento suffices.
England and English
are not Spain
and her do. True: but this
relation is the same:
they have profited more/
from colonies when independent
than when
dependent: so will you
8. True, bettering your alone condition, so will you your hindmen's. Yet I hope that as Christians you will not so hate those you are so eager to govern, as that your felicity will be lessened by the sight of their's.
9.
Howsoever changed the
laws and institutions, the
nomenclature of them
would in great part, remain,
and thus far
constitutes a bond of connections
not existing between
Spain and any other
country. Would you enjoy
Don Quixote? Learn
Spanish: I have heard of
the advice being taken.
