(GEORGIA.) Thoresby, Ralph. The Excellency and Advantage of Doing Good: Represented in a Sermon


  • Notes: Promotes Georgia as "a fair opportunity of providing a very comfortable subsistence for unfortunate and necessitous objects of this nation" and "erecting an asylum and safe retreat for those worthy protestants, that are driven by the storms of persecution from their native country." To the colony's critics, he responds that "there are families at Savannah, Frederica, Ebenezer, and other places, more than enough to prove, that they can live there in a commodious and agreeable manner." With an appended "Letter of Samuel Loyd, Esq; Concerning the Nature and Goodness of the Georgia Silk." Sabin 95612.
