Excerpt from A Philosophical and Political History of the Settlements and Trade of the Europeans in the East and West Indies, Vol. 1 of 10

Every thing has changed, and must change again. But it is a question, whether the revolutions that are parted, or those which must hereafter take place, have been, or can be of any utility to the human race? Will they ever add to the tranquility, the happiness, and the pleasures of mankind? Can they improve our present state, or do they only change it?

The Europeans have founded colonies in all parts, but are they acquainted with the principles on which they ought to be formed? They have established a commerce of exchange, of the productions of the earth and of manufactures. This commerce is transferred from one people to another. Can we not discover by what means, and in what situations this has been effected? Since America and the passage by the Cape has been known, some nations that were of no consequence are become powerful: others, that were the terror of Europe, have lost their authority. How has the condition of these several people been affected by these discoveries? How comes it to pass that those to whom Nature has been most liberal, are not always the richest and most flourishing?
