If the human race had existed not from eternity, but even for a few myriads of years, we may well wonder at the small progress which has been made in science, and that it is not yet four centuries since America and Australia became known to Europe. This argument is well put by Hume, in one of his most objectionable works: 'It is not two thou sand years since vines were transplanted into France; though there is no climate in the world more favourable to them. It is not three centuries since horses, cows, sheep, swine, dogs, corn, were known in America. Is it possible that during the revolutions of a whole eternity, there never arose a Columbus, who might open a communication between Europe and the Continent?' To this remark we may add, that from the moment that mankind began to explore the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, the discovery of America was inevitable; and had the great enterprise of...
