Indian, who poffeffed Rhode IJland had fold 

 it to the Englijh for a pair of fpedtacles : it 

 is large enough for a prince's domain, and 

 makes a peculiar government at prefent. 

 This Indian knew to fet a true value upon 

 a pair of fpeftacles : for undoubtedly if 

 thofe glalTes were not fo plentiful, and only 

 a few of them could be found, they would

 price with diamonds. 



The fervants which are made ufe of in 

 the Eng/i/h American colonies are either free 

 perfons, or Haves, and the former are again 

 of two different forts. 



I. Those who are quite free ferve by 

 the year, they are not only allowed to leave 

 their fervice at the expiration of their year, 

 but may leave it at any time when they do 

 not agree with their mafters. However in 

 that cafe they are in danger of lofing their 

 wages, which are very confiderable. A 

 man fervant who has fome abilities, gets 

 between lixteen and twenty pounds in Pen- 

 jylvania currency, but thofe in the country 

 do not get fo much. A fervant maid gets 

 eight or ten pounds a year : thefe fervants 

 have their food befides their wages, but

 get of thefe they muil thank their mailer's 

 goodnefs for.
