“. . . Some [men] aim at gain, some at
glory, some at the public weal. The greater number are engaged in trade, and especially that which is
transacted on the sea. . . . This is what raised ancient Rome to the sovereignty and mastery over the
entire world, and the Venetians to a grandeur equal to that of powerful kings. . . . For this reason,
many princes have striven to find a northerly route to China, . . . in the belief that this route
would be shorter and less dangerous.”

“Viewed and considered as a settlement, Virginia is far from being arrived at that
degree of perfection which it is capable of. Not a tenth of the land is yet cultivated: and that
which is cultivated, is far from being so in the most advantageous manner. It produces, however,
considerable quantities of grain and cattle, and fruit of many kinds. The Virginian pork is said to
be superior in flavour to any in the world, but the sheep and horned cattle being small and lean, the
meat of them is inferior to that of Great Britain, or indeed, of most parts of Europe. The horses are
fleet and beautiful; and the gentlemen of Virginia, who are exceedingly fond of horse-racing, have
spared no expense or trouble to improve the breed. . . .”
