I must apologise for so long a criticism and one that may appear so unfavourable of a scheme that is so ingenious and so excellent in many respects. It proceeds from no want of admiration of the ability so conspicuous in every page; but rather from the belief that the scheme offers a basis for the system of the future, and that hostile criticism is useful in so far as it may serve to point out weaknesses and defects, since even though it may fail to show how to secure a remedy for such, it may yet tend, by exciting discussion, to the remedy being secured, and to the usefulness of the system being extended.
