Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Maryland: Prepared for the Use of the Public Schools of the State Three hundred years ago certain notions prevailed among the princes and people of Europe, which are not so generally believed now, but which had an important influence on American history. One of these notions was that the more gold and silver any country possessed, the richer and more prosperous it was. Another was that whenever the subject of any Christian sovereign first discovered any land inhabited by heathens, he had the right to take possession of it in the name of his sovereign, whose property it then became. So when in the sixteenth century the other princes of Europe saw the immense quantities of gold and silver that every year poured into Spain from the mines of Mexico and Peru, one-fifth of all which was the king´s own property, they too became eager to make discoveries and to plant colonies in the New World.
