Summary:

The dates appended to the several titles of the following papers indicate the time at which they were respectively published. They are the results of perhaps the most note worthy, and certainly the most public efforts which, ever since 1849, the author has, within what seemed not beyond the possible limits of his direct or indirect in?uence, persistently made, on every seemingly fitting occasion, to advance the great political scheme which these essays advocate. They were, at the respective times of their original publication, pretty generally circulated by the author himself among the more prominent statesmen and politicians of the North Amer ican Colonies, and, to a more limited extent, of ~england also. With these classes they so far met with favor as to be, each of them, republished in full in several of the British Amer ican political journals and other periodicals, and in part by several of those of the United Kingdom.
