To the former defects we owe the outbreak of the late war, which, under a properly constructed machinery of State and Federative governments, would never have occurred; to the latter we owe the growth of those powerful monopolies that, in conjunction with ignorance and impurity...threaten every form of liberty that has grown dear to us.": Preface iii.
