e^HTlNlESfe TRADE* 417 



The advantage of not confining the prodijc- 

 tions of a particular climate to one canton, 

 and of communicating tlie enjoyment of 

 them to diftant regionsj has been fully felt* 

 It has been obferved, that, fince the Euro- 

 peans experienced new wants, their defires 

 have been excited by new objeds : a tafte 

 for the commodities and arts of other coun* 

 tries, has been difFufed amongft them. It 

 would, therefore, be impoHtic to interrupt 

 that reciprocal communication which fub- 

 fifts between nations. This would Ire 

 fhamefully devoting ourfelves to become 

 tributary to our neighbours, and to fuffer 

 the balance to incline altogether in their 

 favour.

 has created more new wants among us than 

 real riches ; but it would occafion great lofs^ 

 to abandon that branch of foreign trade to 

 other nations, %vho would not fail to profit
