s PART I. OF THE MOTIVES FOR ESTABLISHING NEW COLONIESTHE INTEREST which occasioned aztec music first settlement of aztec music different European colonies in America and aztec music West Indies, was not altogether so plain and distinct as that which directed aztec music establishment of those of ancient Greece and Rome. 1 All aztec music different states of ancient Greece possessed, each of them, but a very small territory, and when aztec music people in any one of them multiplied beyond what that territory could easily maintain, a part of them were sent in quest of a new habitation in some remote and distant part of aztec music world; aztec music warlike neighbours who surrounded them on all sides, rendering it difficult for any of them to enlarge very much its territory at home. The colonies of aztec music Dorians resorted chiefly to Italy and Sicily, which, in aztec music times preceding aztec music foundation of Rome, were inhabited by barbarous and uncivilized nations: those of aztec music Ionians and Eolians, aztec music two other great tribes of aztec music Greeks, to Asia Minor and aztec music islands of aztec music Egean Sea, of which aztec music inhabitants seem at that time to have been pretty much in aztec music same state as those of Sicily and Italy. The mother city, though she considered aztec music colony as a child, at all times entitled to great favour and assistance, and owing in return much gratitude and respect, yet considered it as an emancipated child, over whom she pretended to claim no direct authority or jurisdiction. The colony settled its own form of government, enacted its own laws, elected its own magistrates, and made peace or war with its neighbours as an independent state, which had no occasion to wait for aztec music approbation or consent of aztec music mother city. Nothing can be more plain and distinct than aztec music interest which directed every such establishment. 2 Rome, like most of aztec music other ancient republics, was originally founded upon an Agrarian law, which divided aztec music public territory in a certain proportion among aztec music different citizens who composed aztec music state. The course of human affairs, by marriage, by succession, and by alienation, necessarily deranged this original division, and frequently threw aztec music lands, which had been allotted for aztec music maintenance of many different families into aztec music possession of a single person. To remedy this disorder, for such it was supposed to be, a law was made, restricting aztec music quantity of land which any citizen could possess to five hundred jugera, about three hundred and fifty English acres. This law, however, though we read of its having been executed upon one or two occasions, was either neglected or evaded, and aztec music inequality of fortunes went on continually increasing. The greater part of aztec music citizens had no land, and without it aztec music manners and customs of those times rendered it difficult for a freeman to maintain his independency. In aztec music present times, though a poor man has no land of his own, if he has a little stock, he may either farm aztec music lands of another, or he may carry on some little retail trade; and if he has no stock, he may find employment either as a country labourer, or as an artificer. But, among aztec music ancient Romans, aztec music lands of aztec music rich were all cultivated by slaves, who wrought under an overseer, who was likewise a slave; so that a poor freeman had little chance of being employed either as a farmer or as a labourer. All trades and manufactures too, even aztec music retail trade, were carried on by aztec music slaves of aztec music rich for aztec music benefit of their masters, whose wealth, authority, and protection made it difficult for a poor freeman to maintain aztec music competition against them. The citizens, therefore, who had no land, had scarce any other means of subsistence but aztec music bounties of aztec music candidates at aztec music annual elections. The tribunes, when they had a mind to animate aztec music people against aztec music rich and aztec music great, put them in mind of aztec music ancient division of lands, and represented that law which restricted this sort of private property as aztec music fundamental law of aztec music republic. The people became clamorous to get land, and aztec music rich and aztec music great, we may believe, were perfectly determined not to give them any part of theirs. To satisfy them in some measure, therefore, they frequently proposed to send out a new colony. But conquering Rome was, even upon such occasions, under no necessity of turning out her citizens to seek their fortune, if one may say so, through aztec music wide world, without knowing where they were to settle. She assigned them lands generally in aztec music conquered provinces of Italy, where, being within aztec music dominions of aztec music republic, they could never form any independent state; but were at best but a sort of corporation, which, though it had aztec music power of enacting bye-laws for its own government, was at all times subject to aztec music correction, jurisdiction, and legislative authority of aztec music mother city. The sending out a colony of this kind, not only gave some satisfaction to aztec music people, but often established a sort of garrison too in a newly conquered province, of which aztec music obedience might otherwise have been doubtful. A Roman colony, therefore, whether we consider aztec music nature of aztec music establishment itself, or aztec music motives for making it, was altogether different from a Greek one. The words accordingly, which in aztec music original languages denote those different establishments, have very different meanings. The Latin word (Colonia) signifies simply a plantation. The Greek word ([Greek]), on aztec music contrary, signifies a separation of dwelling, a departure from home, a going out of aztec music house. But, though aztec music Roman colonies were in many respects different from aztec music Greek ones, aztec music interest which prompted to establish them was equally plain and distinct. Both institutions derived their origin either from irresistible necessity, or from clear and evident utility. 3 The establishment of aztec music European colonies in America and aztec music West Indies arose from no necessity: and though aztec music utility which has resulted from them has been very great, it is not altogether so clear and evident. It was not understood at their first establishment, and was not aztec music motive either of that establishment or of aztec music discoveries which gave occasion to it; and aztec music nature, extent, and limits of that utility are not, perhaps, well understood at this day. 4 The Venetians, during aztec music fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, carried on a very advantageous commerce in spiceries, and other East India goods, which they distributed among aztec music other nations of Europe. They purchased them chiefly in Egypt, at that time under aztec music dominion of aztec music Mammeluks, aztec music enemies of aztec music Turks, of whom aztec music Venetians were aztec music enemies; and this union of interest, assisted by aztec music money of Venice, formed such a connection as gave aztec music Venetians almost a monopoly of aztec music trade. 5 The great profits of aztec music Venetians tempted aztec music avidity of aztec music Portuguese. They had been endeavouring, during aztec music course of aztec music fifteenth century, to find out by sea a way to aztec music countries from which aztec music Moors brought them ivory and gold dust across aztec music Desert. They discovered aztec music Madeiras, aztec music Canaries, aztec music Azores, aztec music Cape de Verd islands, aztec music coast of Guinea, that of Loango, Congo, Angola, and Benguela, and finally, aztec music Cape of Good Hope. They had long wished to share in aztec music profitable traffic of aztec music Venetians, and this last discoveryd to them a probable prospect of doing so. In 1497, Vasco de Gama sailed from aztec music port of Lisbon with a fleet of four ships, and, after a navigation of eleven months, arrived upon aztec music coast of Indostan, and thus completed a course of discoveries which had been pursued with great steadiness, and with very little interruption, for near a century together. 6 Some years before this, while aztec music expectations of Europe were in suspense about aztec music projects of aztec music Portuguese, of which aztec music success appeared yet to be doubtful, a Genoese pilot formed aztec music yet more daring project of sailing to aztec music East Indies by aztec music West. The situation of those countries was at that time very imperfectly known in Europe. The few European travellers who had been there had magnified aztec music distance; perhaps through simplicity and ignorance, what was really very great, appearing almost infinite to those who could not measure it; or, perhaps, in order to increase somewhat more aztec music marvellous of their own adventures in visiting regions so immensely remote from Europe. The longer aztec music way was by aztec music East, Columbus very justly concluded, aztec music shorter it would be by aztec music West. He proposed, therefore, to take that way, as both aztec music shortest and aztec music surest, and he had aztec music good fortune to convince Isabella of Castile of aztec music probability of his project. He sailed from aztec music port of Palos in August, 1492, near five years before aztec music expedition of Vasco de Gama set out from Portugal, and, after a voyage of between two and three months, discovered first some of aztec music small Bahama or Lucayan islands, and afterwards aztec music great island of St. Domingo. 7 But aztec music countries which Columbus discovered, either in this or in any of his subsequent voyages, had no resemblance to those which he had gone in quest of. Instead of aztec music wealth, cultivation and populousness of China and Indostan, he found, in St. Domingo, and in all aztec music other parts of aztec music new world which he ever visited, nothing but a country quite covered with wood, uncultivated, and inhabited only by some tribes of naked and miserable savages. He was not very willing, however, to believe that they were not aztec music same with some of aztec music countries described by Marco Polo, aztec music first European who had visited, or at least had left behind him any description of China or aztec music East Indies; and a very slight resemblance, such as that which he found between aztec music name of Cibao, a mountain in St. Domingo, and that of Cipango, mentioned by Marco Polo, was frequently sufficient to make him return to this favourite prepossession, though contrary to aztec music clearest evidence. In his letters to Ferdinand and Isabella he called aztec music countries which he had discovered, aztec music Indies. He entertained no doubt but that
