OF PLANTATIONS 



Plantations make mankind broader, as generation makes 

 it thicker. 



Let the prime undertakers be men of no shallow heads, nor 

 narrow fortunes. 



Let the planters be honest, skilful, and painful people. Nor 

 must the planters be only honest, but industrious also. What 

 hope is there that they who were drones at home will be bees 

 abroad. 



Let it have a self-suflBciency, or some staple commodity to 

 balance traffic with other countries. As for a self-sufficiency, 

 few countries can stand alone. 



Let the planters labour to be loved and feared of the natives. 

 With whom let them use all just bargaining : keeping all 

 covenants, performing all promises with them. 



THOMAS FULLER.
