_Untouch'd shall drop the fetters from the slave ,_

Je me transporte quelquefois au dela d'un siecle. J'y vois le bonheur
a cote de l'industrie, la douce tolerance remplacant la farouche
inquisition; j'y vois un jour de fete; Peruvians, Mexicains,
Americains libres, Francois, s'embrassant comme des freres, et
benissant le regne de la liberte, qui doit amener partout une
harmonic universelle.--Mais les mines, les esclaves, que
deviendront-ils? Les mines se fermerout; les esclaves seront les
freres de leurs maitres.
Nouv. Voy. dans l'Amerique.

NOTE e.

_The spoiler spoil'd of all;_

Cortes. A peine put-il obtenir audience de Charles-Quint. un jour il
fendit la presse qui entourait le coche de l'empereur, et monta sur
l'etrier de la portiere. Charles demanda quel etait cet homme:
'C'est,' repondit Cortez, 'celui qui vous a donne plus d'etats que
vos peres ne vous ont laisse de villes.' VOLTAIRE.

NOTE f.

_Where on his altar-tomb, &c._

An Interpolation.

NOTE g.

_Tho' in the western world His grave,_

An Anachronism. The body of Columbus was not yet removed from
Seville.

It is almost unnecessary to point out another in the Ninth Canto. The
telescope was not then in use; though described long before with
great accuracy by Roger Bacon.
