Excerpt from The Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal, Vol. 5: Exhibiting a View of the Progressive Discoveries and Improvements in the Sciences and the Arts; January-April 1857 We need not repeat Mr Gallatin's observations on the great influence of this institution in regulating the wars and settling the disputes of the different nations. Although his attention has been principally fixed upon the beneficial results of the system, and the peculiar sort of federal government it easily introduces, the tribes mutually preserving an hereditary rank, yet he gives proof that the general tendency of this practice was far from promoting tranquillity and peace.
