being the first to call attention to the
right of each nation to the head of it's own
country; nor was he the first to recon-
mend single tax upon the value of land,
as the only proper method of taxation.
His peculiar glory, and that which will
secure to him lasting fame, is that he was
the first to show the intimate connection
between these two great truths, and to
call the attention of the world to the fact
