Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Controversy Between Caius Gracchus and Opimius
I submit it to the sober and re?ecting part of society to determine, after the experience of the world in this business of planting colonies; led on and directed as they generally have been, by commercial enterprise and sagacity; and shel tered under the protection of the government to which they belong, whether this scheme of planting a Colony, out of the worst of materials, upon a distant and barbarous coast, under a tropical climate, where incessant rains prevail for a large portion of the year, by the contributions of mere charity, be either feasible or rational.
