Excerpt from A Defence of the Land-Owners and Farmers of Great Britain, and an Exposition of the Heavy Parliamentary and Parochial Taxation Under Which They Labour; Combined With a General View of the Internal and External Policy of the Country

Farmers of the Country, in whose ruin must necessarily be involved the Home Mdnnfactu7�er,' the Shopiireeper, and the whole ofthe labouring part of the Community, it is hoped that the warmth and ardour with-which the Letters were written, will be attributed to the operation upon the Writer's mind of the full force of this con viction. It is also hoped that he has shewn him self to be as well acquainted with the full value of the Commercial and Manufacturing Interests of his Country, and in what manner they are' blended and interwoven with its Agricultural ones, as any of the violent Writers, who, upon the ground of theory and of sophistry, or upon more dangerous and insidious grounds, have separated the two Interests, and raised the Parricidal Hands of the Children against the absolute existence of their Parents and Protectors. It is for nothing short of Existence that the, Land Owners and the Farmers of Great Britain contend have they not, then, carried Forbearance beyond the line at which it ceases to be a virtue?
