Abstract:
The embarkation of England in a war; the failure of the anticipations
at first indulged in by some parties, that this contest could
be carried on out of the revenue of the country; the recent addition
of sixteen millions to the national debt, and the probability of its
progressive augmentation during every year of the continuation of
hostilities, all tend to impart interest to the question, whether any
means should be taken to provide for the reduction or ultimate extinction
of the debts incurred in the prosecution of past and present
wars ; and if so, by what means this object can best be effected.
