Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American Gazetteer, Vol. 1 of 3: Containing a Distinct Account of All the Parts of the New World; Their Situation, Climate, Soil, Produce, Former and Present Condition; Commodities, Manufactures, and Commerce; Together With an Accurate Account of the Cities, Towns, Ports, Bays, Rivers, L The amazing progress made in the different branches of literature, during the four last centuries, has been productive of the most valuable discoveries; and the revival of the arts and sciences proved a very fortunate æra to society. Navigation, if the little of it then known deserves the name, was generally left to men of mean education, and barbarous dispositions, till the beginning of the fifteenth century; when several ingenious men applied themselves to improve that noble and useful art, which then began to be patronised and encouraged by several princes. Nor were these endeavours long without their proper effects; the Portuguese discovered a passage to the East Indies, round the Cape of Good Hope, and by that means became masters of the rich commerce of the Eastern parts of the world. This useful discovery, animated both the men of genius, and the enterprising seamen of that age, the former laboured incessantly to improve the useful branches of science, and the latter to carry their speculations into actual practice.
