Yet even Varchi shares the prevailing conviction that the proper method is first to excogitate a perfect political system, and then to impress that like a stamp upon the material of the commonwealth.

It is a noteworthy fact that all of these things were done with a per capita taxation of about $2.24! Another fundamentally important aid to the commercial development of the islands was afforded by a radical reformation of the currency.
