Such, at least, was the case, at least for the first seven centuries after the fall of Rome; and to these missionary colonizers Europe owes, I verily believe, among a hundred benefits, this which all Englishmen will appreciate; that Roman agriculture not only revived in the countries which were once the Empire, but spread from thence eastward and northward, into the principal wilderness of the Teuton and Sclavonic races.
She says that the love of adventure, the restlessness so characteristic of the Anglo-Saxon, makes him, under certain conditions, the greatest of explorers and colonizers, and that this same energy, under other conditions, helps to brutalize him. Dissatisfied with the dull round of duties that poverty enforces upon him, he seeks artificial excitement in the saloon and the gambling den.
XXV. Wherever we look to whatsoever period of history conquest, or the settlement of more enlightened colonizers amid a barbarous tribe, seems the origin of slavery modified according to the spirit of the times, the humanity of the victor, or the policy of the lawgiver. The aboriginals of Greece were probably its earliest slaves , yet the aboriginals might be also its earliest lords.
He and his brother, Colonel Wakefield, became the brain and hand of the New Zealand colonizers. For years they battled against their persistent opponents the Church Missionary Society and the officials of the Colonial Office.

They paid no attention either to cultivating the soil or to fostering industry; and wherefore?
It is just this that makes them such wonderful colonizers, and explains why you will find little groups of English people drinking ale and playing golf in the shade of the Pyramids or near the frozen slopes of Foosiyama. The real inwardness of it is that they are a dull race, and, like dull people despise all that they do not understand. To differ from them is to be in the wrong.
Thus their comparative indifference to society has tended to spread this race over the earth, to till and to subdue it; while the intense social instincts of the French, though issuing in much greater gracefulness of manner, has stood in their way as colonizers; so that, in the countries in which they have planted themselves as in Algiers and elsewhere they have remained little more than garrisons.
Among the Romans, the grandest of all colonizers, the individual's Civis Romanus sum I am a Roman citizen was something more than verbal vapouring; it was a protective talisman a buckler no less than a sword.
ZOZIM. Discourage me if I know what youre talking about! I wish Zoo would come: she understands these things.
