Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British and Foreign Review, or European Quarterly Journal, 1841, Vol. 12 To us this page of history displays a moral of the highest kind, and which cannot be sufficiently impressed upon the mind. The most powerful state has only to isolate itself and to stand alone - to reject the aid of neighbouring nations in commerce, the arts and the common occupations of life, and it will immediately exhibit symptoms of decay. Nay, more: we may safely assert, that what are called new and rising counn'ie 8, will improve with a rapidity exactly proportioned to the aid which they receive from their neighbours.
