Not illustrated. 1837 edition. Excerpt: ...upon the disposition of the inhabitants, the animals and vegetables of different countries. That among the brute creation is much more visible than in man, and that in vegetables more than either. In some places, those plants which are entirely poisonous athome, lose their deleterious quality by being carried abroad; there are serpents in Macedonia so harmless as to be used as play-things for children, and we are told, that in some parts of Fez, there are lions so very timorous as to be scared away, though coming in herds, by the cries of women. I know of no country where the influence of climate and soil is more visible than in England; the fame hid. den cause which gives courage to their dogs and cocks gives also fierceness to their men. But chiefly this ferocity appears among the vulgar. The polite of every country pretty nearly resemble each other. But as in simpling, it is among the uncultivated productions of nature, we are to examine the characteristic differences of climate and soil, so, in an estimate of the genius of the people, we must look among the sons of the unpo. liflied rusticity. The vulgar English, therefore, may be S easily distinguished from all the rest of the world, by superior pride, impatience, and a peculiar hardness of foul. Perhaps no qualities in the world are more susceptible of a fine polish than these, artificial complaisance and easy deference being superinduced over these, ge. nerally form a great character! something at once ele. gant and majestic, affable, yet sincere. Such in general are the better sort; but they who are left in primitive rudeness, are the least disposed for society with others, or comfort internally, of any people under the fun. The poor indeed of every country are but little prone to.
