Transcript...A very few years ago we lost a great number of our people by advantageous
offers of land if they would go to North America; but some of them are
returned and by acquainting their neighbours how they were deceived by the
promises of those who prevailed on them to go, has put a stop to that
emigration at present. It would be of infinite consequence to this Kingdom
and consequently to England (for as I said before all our riches centre there)
if some method could be found out to increase the number of our people.
