	Thoughts on the Falkland Islands, by Samuel Johnson
		He conceived the island to be six or seven hundred miles round, and represented it, as a region naked indeed of wood, but which, if that defect were supplied, would have all that nature, almost all that luxury could want.
		The Spaniards, by yielding Falkland's island, have admitted a precedent of what they think encroachment; have suffered a breach to be made in the outworks of their empire; and, notwithstanding the reserve of prior right, have suffered a dangerous exception to the prescriptive tenure of their American territories.
		We have gained political strength, by the increase of our reputation; we have gained real strength, by the reputation of our navy; we have shown Europe, that ten years of war have not exhausted us; and we have enforced our settlement on an island on which, twenty years ago, we durst not venture to look.
