Description

Excerpt from Selections From Cobbett's Political Works<br/><br/>Whatever the pride of rank, of riches, or Of scholarship, may have in duced some men to believe, or to affect to believe, the real strength and all the resources of a country, ever have Sprung and ever must spring, from the labour of its people and hence it is, that this nation, which is so small in numbers and so poor in climate and soil compared with many others, has, for many ages, been the most powerful nation in the world it is the most industrious, the most laborious, and, therefore, the most powerful. Elegant dresses, superb furniture, stately buildings, fine roads and cs ?eet horses and carriages, numerous and stout ships, warehouses teeming with goods; all these, and many other objects that fall under our view, are so many marks of national wealth and resources. But all these Spring from labour. Without the journeyman and the labourer none of them could exist; without the assistance Of their hands, the country would be a wilderness, hardly worth the notice of an invader.
