had no natural attachment to the country
To remedy his m terial defec.. Sir
Edwin Sandys, the new treasurer, pro-
posed to the Company to send over
freight of young women to make wives
for the planters. This proposal with
several others made by that eminent
statesman, was received with universal
applause, and the success answered thei.
expectations. Ninety girls, g young
and uncorrupt,' were sent over at one
time (162O) and sixty more, "handsomc
and well recommended" at another
(162O). These were soon blessed with
the objects OF their wishes. The price,
of a VIE at first, was one hundred and
twenty pounds of tobacco; but as the
number became scarce, the price was
increased to one hundred and ff7
pounds, tha value Of which, in money,
was three shiIlin8s per pound. BY
subsequent act OF assembly, it was or
dalned, that the price OF a wife should
have the precedence of all other debts in
recovery and payment, because of al
other kinds Of merchandise, this wao
most dCsirablo.'
All, desirable indeed: The hearts
of those rustic bachelors must have
leaPed for joy.-And could that g Oh
ject be now obtained for 50 triRine
quantity as one hundred and fifty
pounds Of tobacco" there would not be
a batchclor found in the country. Our
beauX, by only preserving the remains
OF their scgars, might soon purchase,
wat, perhaps, their gallantry could ne.
vcr acquire. Our desart country would
soon be converted into beautiful fields,
waving with that delicious plant and
a sweet SAVIOR would arise, tcstifving our
attachment to the fair sex. In shors
myself would Immediately become a
tobacco planter. QUID.
