Excerpt from The Friend of Peace, Vol. 2Dr. Benjamin Rush, the Author of the Plan for a Peace Ottico in the United States, was an eminent philanthropist. He was also a man of good talents as a writer, and not afraid to attack pernicious practical errors, whatever might be their popularity. Many of his writings have been highly esteemed, but others, equally valuable, have been less popular, and per-l haps merely because they were half a century in advance of the light which prevailed when they yere written. In a note the Doctor informs us, that at the time of writing his plan for a Peace Ofice, there existed wars between the United States and the American Indians, between the British nation and Tip poo Saib, between the planters of' St. Domingo and their African Slaves, and between the French nation and the Em peror of Germany.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
