Agricola (Kansas, United States) (search for this): chapter 21
The following winter passed without disturbance,
and was employed in salutary measures. For, to accustom to rest and repose
through the charms of luxury a population scattered and barbarous and
therefore inclined to war, Agricola gave private encouragement and public
aid to the building of temples, courts of justice and dwelling-houses,
praising the energetic, and reproving the indolent. Thus an honourable
rivalry took the place of compulsion. He likewise provided a liberal
education for the sons of the chiefs, and showed such a preference for the
natural powers of the Britons over the industry of the Gauls that they who
lately disdained the tongue of Rome now coveted its
eloquence. Hence, too, a liking sprang up for our style of dress, and the
"toga" became fashionable. Step by step they were led to things which
dispose to vice, the lounge, the bath, the elegant banquet. All this in
their ignorance, they called civilization, when it was but a part of their
servitude.
