ESSAY ON WAR


[War for room required by encreased Population.--With Arts of Use
and Comfort spring those of War.--Blessings of the Infant State of
Society.--Peace cannot last beyond the Infancy of Society.--War
defined to preserve the equilibrium of Population.--War between hords
of emigrating Stranger Nations.--Invasions on account of violated
Women.--Love the strongest and most natural cause of War.--Violence of
conflicting Passions at sight of an Enemy.--Solitary wounded Combatant
amid the Dying and Dead.--Female Friends seeking for Dead or Wounded
Relatives.--Morning after the Battle--Sympathy--Compassion.--Long
remembrance of the Horrors of War.--Gunpowder; it's tremendous
effects.--Gunpowder, a humane discovery.--Castles &c. proofs of the
continued prevalence of War.--Men quit a peaceful Country to seek War
