The Visit of Commerce and Gospel to Britain
A 1760 essay celebrates maritime power as a boon for trade and religion. It extols the sea as the link between nations, praises Britain’s wealth and gospel spread, and warns against war while urging naval officers to promote Christian virtue and humane conduct amid dangers at sea. The piece cites Horace and Dryden and calls for reverent humility before nature’s vast oceans.
