The food often grows in onecountry, and the sauce in another. The fruits of Portugal arecorrected by the products of Barbadoes, and the infusion of a Chinaplant is sweetened with the pith of an Indian cane. The Philippicislands give a flavour to our European bowls. The single dress of awoman of quality is often the product of an hundred climates. The muffand the fan come together from the different ends of the earth. Thescarf is sent from the torrid zone, and the tippet from beneath thepole. Th...e brocade petticoat rises out of the mines of Peru, and thediamond necklace out of the bowels of Indostan.
If we consider our own country in its natural prospect, without any ofthe benefits and advantages of commerce, what a barren anduncomfortable spot of earth falls to our share! Natural historianstell us, that no fruit grows originally among us, besides hips andhaws, acorns and pig-nuts, with other delicacies of the {58} likenature; that our climate of itself, and without the assistance of art, can make no further advances towards a plum than to a sloe, and carriesan apple to no greater a perfection than a crab; that our melons, ourpeaches, our figs, our apricots and cherries, are strangers among us, imported in different ages, and naturalised in our English gardens; andthat they would all degenerate and fall away into the trash of our owncountry, if they were wholly neglected by the planter, and left to themercy of our sun and soil.
