shall become one Mint,—when all men shall be debtors, and none creditors,—
when imprisonment for debt shall be utterly abolished,—- when highwayrobbery shall be accounted a pleasant pastime, and forgery an accomplishment,
—when Tyburn and its gibbets shall be overthrown,—capital punishments

by the cold hand of death? Is not the goal, towards which we pressed, further off
than ever—the prospect before us cheerless as the blank behind?—Enough of
this.
