Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Description of the Province of South Carolina, Drawn Up at Charles Town, in September, 1731: Tr, From Mr. Purry´s Original Treatise, in French, and Published in the Gentleman´s Magazine, for August, September, and October, 1732 The King of Great Britain having about 3 Years ago purchased this Province of the Lords Proprietors thereof, has since studied to make Agriculture, Commerce and Navigation, flourish in it. His Majesty immediately nominated Colonel Johnson, a worthy Gentleman, to be Governor thereof; who, at his Departure for Carolina, receiv´d divers Orders and Instructions, but in particular was directed instantly to mark out Places in a proper Situation for building Eleven Towns, viz. Two on the River Alatamaha, Two on the River Savanna, One at the Head of the River Poupon, Two at the River Santee, One at the River of Watery, One at the Black River, One at the River Wacomau, and One at the River Pedec. The District of each of these Towns is to contain the Extent of 20000 Acres of Land, formed into a Square, bordering on the River, and divided into Shares of 50 Acres for each Man, Woman, or Child, of one Family; which may be augmented as the Planters shall be in a Condition to cultivate a larger Quantity of Ground, and every one of them shall have an equal Share of the better and worse Lands, and also the same Right on the River. Each Town shall be formed into a Parish, the Extent whereof shall be about 6 Miles round the Town on the same Side of the River; and as soon cs a Parish shall contain 100 Masters of Families, they may send Two Members to the Assembly of the Province, and enjoy the same Privilege as the other Parishes of the Province. The Ground of each Town shall be speedily marked out, and shall belong in common to all the Inhabitants, till it shall he distributed in particular Shares to each of them.
