Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The North Carolina Booklet, Vol. 19: Great Events in North Carolina History; July-October, 1919
Concerning emigrants from Europe to America, Dr. Jones added: There are many Of them who were an honor to their own country, and who are now an ornament to this. I Object only to these vagrant wretches who have no trade or profession but thieving and sedition; whose schools of educa tion have been jails and armies, and who transport themselves here to avoid a transportation to Botany Bay, or to elude the pitiless noose of the hangman.' The session of 1802 ended the services of Dr. Jones as a member of the House of Commons from Johnston County, but, after his removal to Raleigh, he was honored with a seat in the same body as a representative from the county of Wake, as will be mentioned later on.
