great laboratory, a universal counting-house. France is a rich
farm tending to turn itself into a manufactory. Germany is an
ill cultivated field, because they are philosophers and not pea-

Italy is an artificial prairie. Belgium is a forge. Holland is a
canal. Sweden and Denmark are carpenters' yards. Poland
is a sandy heath. Russia is an ice-house. Switzerland is a
chalet. Greece is a field in a state of nature. Turkey is a field
fallow. India is a gold mine. Egypt is a workshop for apprel=
tices. Africa is a furnace. Algiers is a nursery ground. Asia
is a grove. The Antilles are sugar refineries. South America
is a store. North America is a till full; Spain is a till einpl y."
