Excerpt from Political Tracts: Containing, the False Alarm, Falkland"s Islands, the Patriot; And Taxation No Tyranny
One of the chief advantages derived by the present generation from the improvement and diffusion of Philosophy, is deliverance from unnecessary terrours, and exemption from false alarms. The unusual appearances, whether regular or accidental, which once spread consternation over ages of ignorance, are now the recreations of inquisitive security. The fun is no more lamented when it is eclipsed, than when it sets; and meteors play their coruscations without prognostick or prediction.
