As soon as they are properly civilized, that is, enslaved, due care will undoubtedly be taken to specify in their Charter that these Giants shall be subject to the Parliament of _Great-Britain_, and shall not wear a Sheep’s Skin that is not legally Stamped. A Riot of Giants would be very unpleasant to an Infant Colony. But Experience, I hope, will teach us, that the invaluable Liberties of _Englishmen_ are not to be wantonly scattered all over the Globe. Let us enjoy them ourselves, but they are too sacred to be communicated. If Giants once get an Idea of Freedom, they will soon be our Masters instead of our Slaves. But what Pretensions can they have to Freedom? They are as distinct from the common Species as Blacks, and by being larger, may be more useful, I would advise our prudent Merchants to employ them in the Sugar Trade; they are capable of more Labour; but even then they must be worse treated, if possible, than our Black Slaves are; they must be lamed and maimed, and have their Spirits well broken, or they may become dangerous. This too will give a little respite to _Africa_, where we have half exhausted the Human, I mean, the Black Breed, by that wise maxim of our Planters, that if a Slave lives Four Years, he has earned his Purchase-Money, consequently you may afford to work him to Death in that time. The Mother Country is not only the First, but ought to be the sole Object of our political Considerations. If we once begin to extend the Idea of the Love of our Country, it will embrace the Universe, and consequently annihilate all Notion of our Country. The Romans, so much the Object of modern Admiration, were with difficulty persuaded to admit even the rest of _Italy_ to be their Countrymen. The true Patriots never regarded any thing without the Walls of _Rome_, except their own _Villas_, as their Country. Every thing was done for immortal _Rome_, and it was immortal _Rome_ that did every thing. Conquered Nations, which to them answered to discovered Nations with us, for they conquered as fast as they discovered, were always treated accordingly; and it is remarkable that two Men equally famous for their Eloquence have been the only Two that ever had the weakness to think that conquered Countries were intituled to all the Blessings of the Mother Country. _Cicero_ treated _Sicily_ and _Cilicia_ as tenderly as the District of _Arpinum_, and I doubt it was the folly of that Example that misled his too exact Imitator on a late occasion. However, the Giants must be impressed with other Ideas: Bless us, if like that Pigmy old _Oliver_, they should come to think the Speaker’s Mace a Bawble!
