If any useful purpose be attained or the public service be in the slightest degree promoted, by the following pages, very little apology need be offered for the attempt I have made; if not, none ought to stand me in stead. My object has been to select and examine, by means of as diligent a research as the time would admit of, the leading facti which bear upon the matter under consideration. Whether the inferences to be drawn from them shall coincide with the policy intended to be pursued by his Majesty sgovernment, is of course, beyond my humble opportunities of knowing; but I am by no means unsanguine in the hope, that such may, in effect, prove to be the case.
