I cannot say that Flanders or China are exceptions. The general superiority of Britain in agriculture is admitted: yet their wheat is not equal. Their clover is not equal to French Lucerne. Their best cheese is not to be compared to the fromage de Roquefort, nor their best butter to beure de Brittany. No, nor the most exquisite roast beef of Old England to roast beef that I have eaten in France: any more that English china is to be compared to the porcelaine de Seve or their tapestry to that of Gobelin. Some of the French broadcloths are superior to any in England, and their bakeries bear no comparison.

Very true.

This is so true that nations will have a care of monopolies.

Who were these leading members?

Is the evangelism of Zinzindorf or Swedenbourg or of Westley to produce this glorious effect?
Is this by the writings of Hobbes, Mandeville, Shaftesbury, Bolingbroke, Hume, and Gibbon, Morgan, Collins, etc. etc. etc. who have propagated more infidelity than Voltaire and Diderot, who were but disciples and missionaries of British infidelity.

A sacred truth. But is it righteousness that has exalted France and Napoleon? Alexander? Caesar? Charlemagne? Louis XIV? Genghis Khan?
