Into With the European PowersThis pamphlet is a reproduction of some recent editorials of the National Intelligencer, the only addition made to them consisting in the headings which it was thought advisable to prefix, as serving, like the buoys placed in a channel, to mark the drift of the argument, and to facilitate the seizing of the points established by it. Their being put into the present shape, at once less perishable than that in which they first appeared and admitting of fur wider diffusion, is owing to the high estimate of their value formed by one for whom (ever since the day when we had a Jackson to deal with the fruits of Calhoun philosophy, in their material developments and positive manifestations) Nullification, with all subsequent products of the same fungus-breeding brain, have been object" of the closest attention and most earnest solicitude. Thus prepared, so far as bis capacity permits, to estimate these pieces at their true value, he has not hesitated to recommend them as most worthy the attention of every one, whether among ourselves or in foreign countries, who, loving truth and justice for their own sakes, is actuated by a sincere desire to arrive at a correct understanding - in its causes, in its essential nature, and in tho motives and merits of its authors - of the terrific convulsion which our body politic is now exhibiting to the gaze of mankind.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
