It is believed by many, that the ancients had fome imperfect notion T of a new world; and several ancient authors are quoted in confirmation of this opinion. In a book ascribed to the philosopher Aristotle, we are told that the Carthaginians discovered an island far beyond the pillars of Hercules, large, fertile, and finely watered with navigable rivers, but uninhabited. This island was diftant a few days failing from the Continent; its beauty induced the discoverers to fettle there; but the policy of Carthage diflodged the colony, and laid a strict prohibition on all the fubjects of the state not to attempt any future establishment. This account is alfo confirmed by an historian of no mean credit, who relates, that the Tyrians would have fettled a colony on the new-discovered illand, but were oppofed by the Carthaginians for state reafons. Seneca, and other authors are alfo quoted in fupport of this belief. But however this may be, nobody ever believed the existence of this continent fo firmly as to go in queft of it; at least, there are no accounts well fupported that America received any part of its first inhabitants from Europe prior to the 15th century. The Welsh fondly imagine that their country contributed, in 1170, to people the New World, by the adventure of Madoc, fon of Owen Gwynedd, who, on the death of his father, failed there, and colonized part of the country. All that is advanced in proof is, a quotation from one of the British Poets, which proves no more than that he had distinguished himself by sea and land. It is pretended that he made two voyages; that failing Weft, he left Ireland fo far to the North, that he came to a land unknown, where he faw many strange things; that he returned home, and, making a report of the fruitfulness of the new-discovered country, prevailed on numbers of the Welsh of each fex to accompany him on a fecond voyage, from which he never returned. The favourers of this opinion affert, that feveral Welsh words, fuch as gwrando, "to hearken or liften;" the isle of Creaso, or "welcome;" Cape Breton, from the name of Britain; guyandwr, or, “the white water;" and pengwin, or, "the bird with |
