Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review, or Critical Journal, Vol. 39: For Oct., 1823 Jan., 1824 The expenses necessarily incurred in conducting the govern ment of a civilized nation in time of peace, rarely exceed the amount of its ordinary revenue. In time of war, however, the case is extremely different. When the independence and ho nour of a nation are at stake, proportional sacrifices must be made to maintain them. Hostile aggression and insult must be opposed and avenged. But to do this, extraordinary funds are necessary; and the inquiry, how they may be most advantage ously provided, is plainly one of the highest importance to every people.
