been content with making the absolutely necessary 
additions to the buildings he first constructed, or 
found thereon, or to erect additional new ones 
near them, without the least view to contrivance, 
convenience, or design ; so that it frequently hap¬ 
pens that, instead of having all your work imme¬ 
diately under your eye in one commodious, conve¬ 
nient, judiciously constructed Building, you are 
obliged to wander from place to place, through a 
number of as ill-contrived as ill-constructed Hovels; 
an inconvenience in many places not likely to be 
remedied—as it is not every Planter who is gifted 
with a head capable of contrivance, of suggesting 
improvement, or of a spirit of enterprize sufficient 
to adopt and execute such as may be hit upon by 
others ; the majority of them religiously adhering 
to the laudable determination of going on in the 
old j og-trot way, declaring it has hitherto answer¬ 
ed all their purposes, and they will not depart from 
it.
