The Beauties of England and Wales, or Delineations, Topographical, Historical and Descriptive, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Beauties of England and Wales, or Delineations, Topographical, Historical and Descriptive, Vol. 3
The same kind of disgraceful policy which still suffers the piratical states of Algiers, Tunis, and Morocco, to exist, appears to have guided the councils of the English and Scottish kingdoms at the times we are now describing; for it cannot rationally be supposed that a petty district, situated between two powerful nations, and inhabited by clans of banditti, should have been able to preserve its independence, without the concurrence of both its neighbours. The conduct of states, like that of individuals, seems often inexplicable; but unfortunately for mankind, the impolitic conventions of the former are the most destructive.
