There is much in her pre. sent condition, which the philanthropist and states- man may lament, and much that will furnish tha historiah materials for the illundention of his pages. So also may the moralist and philosopher. in her extended wel of virtue and vice, of learning and ignòtance, of freedom and slavoty, find occa ision to arouse the dormant sensibilities or instruct the passive minds of the people.

The stitute was prohibitory, and intended, saya Blickstone, for the encouragement of home manu- factures: It was made felony to carry any worl unt of the realn, and the people were not perm tol to wear the cloth of my other country... So impor-
This fact is a source of mingled gratitude and pride of pride, because no expedients of imposition- med en terfugos have been resorted to, but a stand has been made upon the simple merits of a system which ita proprietors have only now to study to improve into as much perfection an la the community are indebted for the first combination of all trade; that the most arbaraty wwer was exercised the varieties of public intelligence, with the tertile and ex.that of control over the tastes and customs of haustiess resources of the file arts the developement of a individuals.
