Writings of James Madison, Volume 2
Contents:
To George Washington.
J. Madison presents his respectful compliments to the President, and returns the Treatise on Small Canals, &c., with his acknowledgements for the perusal of it. He is not enough conversant with such subjects to decide on the merits of the various plans and machinery recommended by the Author. In general, his principles appear to be both effective and practicable; but the question of their utility must be decided by a very accurate comparison of expense and saving, which cannot easily be made without partial experiments, at least; and which must vary, also, in different Countries and different situations of Society. The Author, however, is certainly entitled to much praise for his ingenuity and laudable zeal for improvement; and has probably, by his work, really contributed to it, either immediately or by the use that may be made of his ideas by others.
PHILADELPHIA, Decr 1, 1796.
