Evidence: | 'During the period of the writing of the three Series, -- the Political Economy, Taxation, and Poor-laws -- I never remember but once sitting down to read whatever I pleased. That was a summer evening [...] I sat down to study the geography and relations of the States of the American Union; and extremely interesting I found it'. |
