The constant heat and the want of variety in the climate, tends to pro- duce a weakening and enervating effect; yet, notwithstanding the opinion of some pltf- losophers to the contrary, it is evident that these equatorial regions, possessed now for Ite most part by savage or barbarous inhabitants, must one day become the seats of grtrt civilized communities. 2d & 34. Two Tropical zones^ extend, one on the north, the other on the south side of the equatorial zone, as far as thirty degrees from t...he equator, each of them thns h eluding eighteen degrees of latitude. These two zones each contain twenty-five mi lions of square miles or both together, fifty millions, about a quarter of the earth's sui^. These may be denominated Hie zones of three seasons^ viz., the cold, the hot, and Aft rainy. In that part of this zone which is nearest the equator, the rainy season is tft longest, and extends with some intermissions, over nearly four months ; but as we 4^: part from the equator, the rainy season otows shorter, and at length over a consideraSb 1 part of these zones, it fails almost entirdy.
