ABSTRACT
Here you dispose of your encreasing numbers of poor: they go there poor, and come back rich; there they plant, trade, thrive, and encrease; even your transported felons, sent to Virginia instead of Tyburn; Thousands of them, if we are not misinform’d, have, by turning their hands to industry and improvement, and, which is a best of all, to honesty, become rich, substantial planters and merchants, settled large families and been … masters of good estates.
