that our country was once mart for beautiful
Young females But such is suchi- the fact, and
it is thus stated by Holmes in his American An
mails:
The crterprising colonists being generally dcs-
titute of families, Sir Edward Sandys, the treas
urcr, proposed to the Virginia Company. 10 scna
over freight of young women to become wives
for the planters The proposal was apP!audod

some and well recommended to the company for
their virtue, education, and demaanor. The price
of wife. at first; was one hundred pounds OF to-
bacco; but as the numbers became scarce, the
price was increased to Que hundred and fifty
pounds, the value of which. in money was three
shillings per pound. This debt for wives. it was
ordered should have the precedency over all
other debts and be the first recoverable.
Another writer says. in reference 10 thls novel
and delightful sort Of exchange
