Preface: Nebuchadnezzar's monster
An ocean always turbulent
The fostering hand of government
A new era
Pomp and quiddling
A very perplexing business
A great and delicate subject
Vile politics
Propositions of a doubtful nature
Paper guarantees
A centre without parallel

The labyrinth of finance
A gross national iniquity
The trumpet of sedition
Cabals, meetings, plots & counterplots
A southern position
Indians
Interlude II
Freedom's favorite seat
A most mischievous engine
Epilogue: American dawn.
