Text Appearing Before Image:
en down his bridge, and in foolishly at-tempting to shackle the waves, by throwing fetters into them. Puffedup with a childish vanity and a ridiculous pride, he looks upon himselfas the arbiter of nature : he imagines, that not a nation in the world willdare to wait his arrival; and fondly and presumptuously relies on themillions of men and ships which he drags after him. But when, after thebattle of Salamis. he beholds the sad ruins, the shameful remains, of hisnumberless troops scattered over all Greece; be then is sensible of thewide difference between an army and a crowd of men. In a word, toform a right judgment of Xerxes, we need but contrast him with a plaincitizen of Athens, a Miltiades, Themistocles, or Aristides. In the latterwe find all the good sense, prudence, ability in war, valour, and great-ness of soul; in the former we see nothing but vanity, pride, obstinacy ;the meanest and most grovelling sentiments, and sometimes the mosthorrid barbarity. END OF THE FIRST VOLUME.
