In his observations upon the
United Provinces of the Neither
lands" published in the latter p ,rt
" the 18th centrry-~.ncw about two
hundred years ago-Sir VIM. Tenn
p!-, baronet, says: -" Per
haps difference Of diet may M ke
greater difference in mems natural
courage than is commonly thought of.
For courage may proceed in some
measure from IL tetcper OF air, may
be formed by disc plinc, and acquired
by use, or influenced by opinion !;
out that which ia more natural, and
so more national in some countries
than in others, socms to arise from
the beat OF strength Of spirits about
the heart, which may greatly d~pend
upon the measure and the substance
Of food m.n are used TO. This made
a great physician among ns say, he
would make any iran Il coward with
six weeks dieting;' and Prince Mau-
rice of Orange called for the English
that Were ncwi y com. over, and ha t,
a. he said, tn .ir own beef in their
bellies 10. any bcld and desperate
action.
This may be the reason why the
gentry in most places Of the world
are Drawer than the peasants, whose
hearts ar depressed, not only by sia-
very, bur By short and heartl,.ss food,
tn" IF ct # th"'r poverty, This Is
a cau-.- why the yeon.nry and com
'nonality OF England ar generally
b.tv-r than in OH T countries, be-
causo by the plenty and con7iitu,ions
.ot the kingdom they are SO much
easier IL their rents aud their taxes,
nnd fare 40 much better and fuller
than those Of their rank in any other
nation, EEvir chirf, and. indeed cou-
slant food, beng flesh. And among
all creatures, both the birds and the
beasts, We shall find those that feed
upon flesh 10 be fierce and bold and
on ;he contrary, the fearful and faint
hearted, to feed upon grass aud upon
plants
