Knowledge of books and business paths in a Spectator excerpt
An 18th century style speech contrasts knowledge as a lantern for the business minded to guide others to prosperity. It cites Themistesines and Evans on force persuasion and impossibility, then shifts to a long political riff on the tariff and banking debates with Duncan of Ohio. It critiques Whig candidates and argues for party unity while railing at bankers and merchants.
