Before the difcovery of America, and the plantation of our colonies, the intereft of money was generally twelve per cent, all over Europe ; and It has been growing gradually lefs fince that time, till it is now generally about four or five. When...
Sivu 179 - ... to mankind, and particularly the public encouragement given to agriculture as an art, which is becoming prevalent in every ' part of Europe. This important revolution in the difpofitions of fo great a part of mankind, may in a great meafure be attributed to the peculiar kind of philofophy cultivated in the prefent age, by men, without doubt, confiderable, and...
Sivu 152 - The engagement finifhed f'oon afterwards, at ten PM Night coming on, I judged it prudent to form the fleet on the other tack, in order to avoid the danger of Kalkboden, cover our prize, and confult the honour of your majefiy's fleet, by endeavouring to retake the Prince Guftave, who was laying difabled, and without a flag.
Sivu 308 - I am happy, madam, however, to hear that your robe of innocence is in such perfect repair. I was afraid it might have been a little the worse for the wearing ; may it hold out to keep you warm the next winter. The progenitors your grace has done me the honour to give me are...
