Dialogues of the Dead and Spanish Conquest Debate
The piece discusses anticipation for a forthcoming dialogues volume and praises its author while criticizing some passages as coarse. It contrasts the author’s noble pen with the need for briefer speeches, cites Labia and Apicius, and includes a polemic between William Penn and Fernando Cortez about conquest, colonization, and morality. It also touches on broader European political reflections and the growth of colonial schemes in America.
