 which do not for a moment arrest 

 the progress of the enemy, nor 

 increase our own strength, is wast- 

 ing our time and resources in a fe-

 of our destruction a little longer.

 our enemy, unless we follow the 

 maxims we have so much enlarged 

 upon, we must finally submit. We 



have no alternative but to increase 

 our own empire, or become a part 

 of that of France." 



If we could yield to our inclina' 

 tion, we would present to our read- 

 ers the whole of this little treatise, 

 without dread of being called to 

 account by Mr. Leckie, whose 

 views appear to be merely patrio- 

 tic, for invading his literary pro- 

 perty.
