in the nature of lis laws rs in the appli-
cation Of these laws to the dissimIlar.

different nations and periods. The laws


educed by Mr.. Atkinson are so Just, so
clear, so vital, and yet so strangely over
looked by those who arrogate to them
selves the title of the Political Econo-
mists in our day, and who resolve all

nothing--of whose universe Somnus is
God--aud who elevate the maxim 81

est TO the summit Of attainRbe wisdom
and statesmGnship. In their eyes the
cheapest possible production coin be-
ing the unerring standards the great
end Of human effort; and he who is cut
stripped in the headlong race is doomed

vious strife and depressing competition,
