Excerpt from A Concise Treatise on the Wealth, Power, and Resources of Great Britain: Showing the Means by Which the Country May Be Restored to Its Former Vigor and Prosperity Far from producing a similar effect, the restore tion of general peace in 1815, operated in a manner directly contrary; there were heard among all Classes of people complaints of want of profitable employment, as well for labour as for capital; and the cry of distress up to the present period, has become still louder and louder. As this happened not in one or two countries only, but nearly in all the continental states, the author came early to the conclusion that it could not possibly arise out of circumstances of a local nature, but that it must proceed from one great and general cause; and he found this cause to be, the depreciatiori which the circulating medium of the different countries had sustained, and is still, in' fact, daily sustaining, both in reality and also by its becoming more and more disproportionate to and insufficient for their growing population.
