THE
ECONOMIST,
WEEKLY COMMERCIAL TIMES,
And Bankers’ Gazette.
A POLITICAL, LITERARY, AND GENERAL NEWSPAPER.
“If we make ourselves too little for the sphere of our duty—if, on the contrary, we do not stretch and expand our minds to the compass of their object—be well assured that everything about us will dwindle by degrees, until at length our concerns are shrunk to the dimensions of our minds. It is not a predilection to mean, sordid, home-bred cares that will avert the consequences of a false estimation of our interest, or prevent the shameful dilapidation into which a great empire must fall by mean reparation upon mighty ruins."—Burke.
