VIII.
. : > ;' The character of Columbus. Some reflexions tn the conduff of the court of Spain.
HEnceforward, in treating of the pro- grefs of the Spanifli difcoveries and arms, inftead of defigns laid in Science, and purfued with a benevolent heart and gentle meafures ; we are but too often to ihew an enthuiiaftic avarice, urging men forward to every act of cruelty and horror. The cha- racter of this rirft difcoverer was extremely different from that of all with whom he dealt, and from that of... moft of thofe who purfued his difcoveries and conquefts ; fome with a vigour and conduct equal, but all with virtues 62 An ACCOUNT of the EUROPEAN virtues very much inferior. In his character hardly is any one of the components of a truly great man wanting. For to the ideas of tha moft penetrating philofopher, and a fcheme built upon them worthy of a great king, he joined a constancy and patience, which alone could carry it into execution, with the for- tune of a private man. Continual florins at fea, continual rebellions of a turbulent people on more, vexations, difappointments, and ca- bals at court, were his lot all his life ; and thefe were the only reward of fervices, which no favours could have rewarded fufficiently.
