Excerpt from London, or Interesting Memorials of Its Rise, Progress, and Present State, Vol. 3 of 3

The merchants of Tyre founded Carthage, a city which, in a short time, became of such power and im portance as to have Spain, Sicily, and Sardinia, with three hundred cities, under its dominion; nor was it until after three exterminating wars, during a period of forty years, and when this rich city was lain 'in ashes by a fire of seventeen days duration, that Carthage fell, and with it commerce, which the R0 mans were loth to cultivate, considering all true greatness to rest in the success of arms.
