Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reasons for Establishing the Colony of Georgia, With Regard to the Trade of Great Britain: The Increase of Our People, and the Employment and Support It Will Afford to Great Numbers of Our Own Poor, as Well as Foreign Persecuted Protestants
Men. The Colonies of Spain fupply the want of Induf'tryi in her Natives, and Trade in her towns: If the Scarcity of her People at home is imputed to them, I think it unjufl it is evidently owing to the Nature of her Government, her Religion, and its Inquifition: As may be Teen by Imgy, who has no Colonies, yet is thin of Inhabitants, efpecially in the Pope's Dominions: And tho' of as rich a Soil as any in the World, yet her People are poor, and the Country in many Places uncultivated, by fhutting up thofe, who would ferve their Maker in a better Manner by being induftrious, and would be more ufeful Members of Society as Plowmen than as Monks.
