The Translator to the Public

The literary fame of Abbe Raynal is now established in every kingdom of Europe. English blood, so often shed in Europe by English hands, irrigates America in its turn, and the civil war is embarked in. The principles, which were indebted for their birth to Europe, and particularly to England, had been transplanted in America by philosophy. In Europe, the people are too much agitated to allow to this part of the world the enjoyment of constant peace. In all the monarchies of Europe, the soldier is but an instrument of despotism, and has its disposition. Great Britain had intercepted their navigation with Europe, with the West Indies, with all the latitudes which their vessels covered. All Europe foresaw that two states, in rivalship for ages, were about to tinge the waters of the ocean with their blood, and again play that dreadful game, in which public prosperities will never compensate for particular disasters.
