Synopsis

Excerpt from An Essay on the Best Way of Developing Improved Political and Commercial Relations Between Great Britain and the United States of America

It is, beyond a question, the most perfect piece of governmental machinery that was ever invented. Presents the Government to the people, in daily contact with their business and their happiness, but always in the aspect of a benefactor, giving benefits of inestimable value, and exacting but a penny in return.

An English statesman, not now living, Mr. Richard Cobden, in conversation with the writer in 1843, bore the strongest testimony in its favour, in the opinion expressed, that the introduction of cheap postage had rendered a violent revolution for the overthrow of the Government in England for ever impracticable.
