From The Various Circumstances Of Our Day, The Impression Is Powerfully
Made Upon Intelligent Men In Europe, That Some Extraordinary Change Is
About To Take Place In The General Condition Of Mankind. A New Ardour Of
Human Intercourse Seems To Be Spreading Through All Nations. Europe Has
Laid Aside Her Perpetual Wars, And Seems To Be Assuming A _Habit_ Of Peace.
Even France, Hitherto The Most Belligerent Of European Nations, Is
Evidently Abandoning The Passion For Conqest, And Begining To Exert Her
Fine Powers In The Cultivation Of Commerce. All The Nations Of Europe Are
Either Following Her Example, Or Sending Out Colonies Of Greater Or Less
Magnitude, To Fill The Wild Portions Of The World. Regions Hitherto
Utterly Neglected, And Even Scarcely Known, Are Becoming Objects Of
Enlightened Regard; And Mankind, In Every Quarter, Is Approaching, With
Greater Or Less Speed, To That Combined Interest And Mutual Intercourse,
Which Are The First Steps To The True Possession Of The Globe.
