Thoughts on Falkland's Islands by Samuel Johnson is a political writer's point of view of a South Atlantic archipelago named the Falkland Islands, also called Islas Malvinas. Excerpt: "To proportion, the eagerness of contest to its importance seems too hard a task for human wisdom. The pride of wit has kept ages busy in the discussion of useless questions, and the pride of power has destroyed armies, to gain or to keep unprofitable possessions."
