lisp boast of their wealth, and with reason. Do
search for gold in the extremities of the globe. They
send their able navigators to explore and describ;
islands in the Southern Ocean, while, a* the sarra
time, they leave the islands on the north-west roan
of cotland in the most wretched state of nature.—
The Hebrides are scarcely known to themselves, and
the inhabitants are left to vegetate in the most kip
less neglect. In those Islands there are neither pub
lic nor privAte roads. It is neither possible to travd,
on horseback nor on foot, as you must climb ova
rocks, traverse marshes, and swim through lakes and
arms of the sea," B:c.-
