What the Government means by pocketing a whole Nation of Giants, is not to be conceived. It ought again to draw down the Vengeance of their Antagonists on the present Ministers. I am sure they have done nothing worse. Who knows but at this Instant they may be preparing to pour in Forty or Fifty thousand Giants upon us? Their Love of Liberty, their Tenderness of the Constitution, their Lenity, Mildness and Disinterestedness, their Attention to the Merchants, in short, all their Virtues may be affected, and only calculated to lull us asleep, until the fatal Blow is struck. I own my Apprehensions are gloomy; yet, thank +God+, we have a pretty tall Opposition, who will not suffer us to be enslaved by any Thing higher than themselves. In the mean Time, till we know something of the Matter, it is to be hoped, that all speculative Authors, who are so kind as to govern and reform the World through the Channel of the News Papers, will turn their Thoughts to Plans for settling this new acquired Country. I call it new acquired, because whoever finds a Country, though Nobody has lost it, is from that Instant intitled to take a Possession of it for himself, or his Sovereign. _Europe_ has no other Title to _America_, except Force and Murder, which are rather the executive Parts of Government than a Right. Though _Spain_ pretends a Knowledge of our Giants, she has forfeited all Pretensions to their Allegiance, by concealing the Discovery; as is plain from the Decision of the _Canon_ Law, _Tit. de novis regionibus non abscondendis_. The first Thought that will occur to every good Christian, is, that this Race of Giants ought to be exterminated, and their Country colonized; but I have already mentioned the great Utility that may be drawn from them in the Light of Slaves. I have also said, that a moderate Importation might be tolerated for the Sake of mending our Breed; but I would by no Means come into a Project I have heard dropped, and in which Propagation would not be concerned, I mean the Scheme of bringing over a Number of Giants for second Husbands to Dowagers. _Ireland_ is already kept in a State of Humiliation. We check their Trade, and do not allow them to avail themselves of the best situated Harbours in the World. Matrimony is their only Branch of Commerce unrestricted, and it would be a most crying Injustice to clog that too. In truth, we are not sufficiently acquainted with these Goliaths to decide peremptorily on their Properties. No Account of them has been yet transmitted to the Royal Society: But it would be exceedingly adviseable, that a Jury of Matrons should be sent in the next embarkation to make a report; and old Women for old Women, I would trust to the Analysis of the Matrons in preference to that of the Philosophers.
