England
Beschreibung des Verlags
England has played a part in modern history altogether out of proportion to its size. The whole of Great Britain, including Ireland, has only eleven thousand more square miles than Italy; and England and Wales alone are not half so large as Italy. England alone is about the size of North Carolina. It is, as Franklin, in 1763, wrote to Mary Stevenson in London", that petty island which, compared to America, is but a stepping-stone in a brook, scarce enough of it above water to keep one's shoes dry".
