BY HORACE GREELEY.
The work of Mr. Atkinson is one Of
the most instructive and admirable that
has yet appeared on the important and
difficult subject of Political Economy.
difficult not so much in its essence or
in the nature Of its laws as in the appli-
cation of these laws TO the dlSsimIlar,
complicated, varying circumstances of
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.tite of the Political Econo-
mists in our day, and who resolve all
Political Economic Science. into doing
nothing--of whose universe Somnus is
God--and who elevate the maxim of
the counter, Buy where you can cheap
est to the summit 'cf' attainable wisdom
and. statesmanship. In their eyes The
cheapest possible production-coin be-
ing the unerring standards the great
end Of human effort; and he. who is out
stripped in the headlong race is doomed
to ruin and starvation by the law Of en-
vious strife and depressing competition,
which they blasphemonsly represent as
the order Of Providence! These are
the views put forth by the Political
Economists enthroned in our Colleges
and Senates. as liberal and enlightened.
--at least, these are the inevitable re-
suits from those views. II was needed
