dience. Several members of the univer

Da Gama sailing around the ('ape of
Good Hope in 149.9, and thus opening

civilization. The second epoch brought
th palmy days of Spain and Portugal,
a Hood of precious metals came upon
Spain and itprovod her ruin. I'orluijiuw
trade ultimately killed that with Turkey
and Egypt, from Italy. England and
Holland profited by this commercial rev
olution. The planting of colonies occupied the
greater part of the seventeenth century.
During this century of national rivalry
Holland became the first commercial
nation of Europe. England began east
ern commerce about this time, and dur
ing the eighteenth century proved n com
mercial power.
During the last ern, transportation ha
effected marvels. Australia and Canton
