Papers of Robert Morris, 1781-84: Volume 9:University of Pittsburgh Pre - 1088 страница Although Robert Morris (1734-1806), "the Financier of the American Revolution," was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution, a powerful committee chairman in the Continental Congress, an important figure in Pennsylvania politics, and perhaps the most prominent businessman of his day, he is today least known of the great national leaders of the Revolutionary era.This oversight is being rectified by this definitive publication project that transcribes and carefully annotates the Office of Finance diary, correspondence, and other official papers written by Morris during his administration as superintendent of finance from 1781 to 1784. |

Страница 597 - ... disagreeable or injurious to others; that it is liable to as few exceptions as could reasonably have been expected we hope and believe; that it may promote the lasting welfare of that country so dear to us all, and secure her freedom and happiness, is our most ardent wish. With great respect, We have the honor to be, SIR, Your Excellency's most Obedient and humble Servants, GEORGE WASHINGTON, PRESIDENT. By unanimous Order of the Convention. His Excellency The PRESIDENT of CONGRESS.
Страница 50 - States as otherwise, by the operations and effects of the war. And whereas, no provision can as yet be made for the just relief of the sufferers, neither can it be determined to whom such relief may be due. And whereas, it is the indispensable duty of every Government in all things, to the utmost of their power, to do what to right and justice may appertain. Be it therefore ordained by the United States in Congress assembled, and it is hereby ordained by authority of the same, that each and every...

So that the eternal and immutable principles of truth and justice, being for a moment out of the question, and stifling those sentiments of humanity, which arise from a view of what the public creditors must suffer, should their dues be withheld, (if indeed it be possible to stifle such sentiments,) still it will indisputably appear to be the interest of the merchant, as well as of the husbandman and mechanic, to pay...
Страница 17 - True it is, that the general government wants energy, and equally true it is, that this want will eventually be supplied. A national spirit is the natural result of national existence, and although some of the present generation may feel colonial oppositions of opinion, yet this generation will die away and give place to a race of Americans.
Страница 241 - My dear lord, there is an old saying, that when things are at the worst they must mend : now the mind of man cannot fancy things worse than they are here. But, thank God ! my health is better, my mind never firmer, and my heart in the right trim to comfort, relieve, and protect those whom it is my duty to afford assistance to.
Страница 240 - I am favored with the firm support of Congress, I shall not shrink from the difficulties, however great, with which we are threatened. The idea of applying to the banks for aid, is in itself a good one, but the present moment is unfavorable. The establishment of so many banks instead of aiding credit, and facilitating operations, will for some time to come have a contrary effect, and it is not without great difficulty, that they will each collect a capital sufficient to support its own operations....
Страница 351 - American vessels would otherwise go in search of, to India, or procure from other nations. " This," said Mr. Morris, " will form an object of near twenty millions of livres annually ; or, calculating both the export and import cargoes, it will amount to about thirty millions ; and, consequently, cannot be less than five millions clear advantage to France. And if it be considered that this is so much taken from her commercial rival, we may estimate it as being an object often millions annually.
Страница 128 - Feb. a1, 1784. I duly received, my dear sir, your letter of the 27th of January, and I would have sooner told you how much pleasure it gave me, if I had had time, but legislative folly has afforded so plentiful a harvest to us lawyers that we have scarcely a moment to spare from the substantial business of reaping.
