 " But We think there IS a radical error in the impression that 1t Is the holders of large landed possessions that make or build up towns and cites They profit by, but they rarely instrumental in building up cities The real wealth of every city IS 10 be found in its merchants its manufactures, and its mechanics, and of the capital invested by these classes among us, no knowledge can be de. rived from the Assessors books.
