Mother Country, it has nevertheless thriven in a manner almost
miraculous — and much of this progressive improvement is to be

It is a part of my duty to do justice to the names of those men
who by their greatness of mind their wisdom, & their goodness

parts of the Globe; who can discern the rudiments of a future
people wanting only time, to be unfolded in the seed, who can
perceive amidst the hopes, disappointments & expences of an
In[fant] Colony, the great advantages to be derived to th[e]
Country from such undertakings, who can pursue them in spite
of the malignity & narrow wisdom of the world
