Strana 24 - They have an antipathy to foreigners, and imagine that they never come into their island but to make themselves masters of it, and to usurp their goods ; neither have they any sincere and solid friendships amongst themselves, insomuch that they do not trust each other to discuss either public or private affairs together in the confidential manner we do in Italy.

And on inquiring their reason for this severity, they answered that they did it in order that their children might learn better manners.
Strana 21 - Englishman"; and when they partake of any delicacy with a foreigner, they ask him "whether such a thing is made in their country?" They take great pleasure in having a quantity of excellent victuals, and also in remaining a long time at table, being very sparing of wine when they drink it at their own expense.
