FISHER’S  

COLONIAL MAGAZINE.  

ENGLAND’S BEST REFUGE LIES IN WISELY  

HUSBANDING HER RESOURCES.  

The “ocean” and the “ earth ” alike conspire in shedding around the  

British islands advantages, of which, in their rare accumulation, few  

other localities are possessed.  

Setting aside their vast possessions on foreign soils, subject to all  

the various geographical climates of our globe, the treasures of their  

native soil, their numerous ports and harbours, and secure havens,  

surrounding our entire country, our comparatively mild atmosphere,  

capacitate us for the enjoyment of very extensive blessings, unimpaired  

by debts and pecuniary embarassments.  

But England, spite of every advantage synchronism of  

fortunate events has shed around her, is, at this present moment,  

loaded with debts, mortgages, and financial perplexity and distress.  

How shall we account for these anomalies and discrepancies How  

are we to account for the apparent anomaly of nation, possessing  

the elements of plenty and comfort, exhibiting, among large portion  

of their denizens, distress, and want, and the wailings of discontent  

How, but by assuming that our advantages of situation, and the pecu-  

liar sources of profit which we possess, over other nations, are not  

made the most of; —how, but by supposing negligence or supineness  

on the part of our governors —how, but by supposing the constant  

existence of disposition in our rulers, to legislate for certain privi-  

leged classes, in preference to the great common weal; how, but that  

many of those who legislate for England’s prosperity, either do not  

understand her best interests, or, like the patricians, even in the time  

VOL. I. NO. 3.
