Synopsis
Excerpt from The Coast Survey: Reply to the Official Defence of Its Cost, Abuses and Power
Whenever a defence of the present arrangement of the coast survey appears, which is made up of nauseating commendation of the head of that establishment, and indisa criminate abuse of all Who believe that his peer may be found among living men, and especially among the officers of our army and navy 5 in Which feigned issues are met and real ones avoided, and the whole resting upon no founda tion but studied and extended falsification and forgery of an antagonist's statements; dullness itself will not be at fault in determining its authorship. The official reply to the observations of B. Signed Public Documents, and printed in your issue of loth ult., so far transcends, in such particulars, all former efforts from that quarter to mys tify and pervert the truth, that one might well claim to be excused from answering it at all. Still, in view of its by authority character, and because the document tampered with, happens to be not of the sort Which will subject the falsifier of it to indictment by a grand jury, the point of exemption will not be pressed. It seems proper to use this occasion, for the further purpose of apprising the Treasury Department, that this vile imposture is circulated under the frank of the Coast Survey, and, in one instance at least.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a polemical work from the mid-19th century, provides an investigation into the workings of the United States Coast Survey. The author believes that the Coast Survey is plagued by wasteful spending and political intrigue, and must be reformed to the benefit of both the taxpayers and the quality of the survey's scientific work. The author explores these ideas through letters to a New York Times editor, each responding to previous public statements made by the head of the Coast Survey. The author suggests that the Coast Survey is prioritizing baseless scientific research and misleading Congress into allocating excessive amounts of funding. The book brings to light the author's belief that the Coast Survey's budget and direction should be handed over to the US Army and Navy, with an emphasis on putting the money where it will do the most good. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
