Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Memoir of General James Oglethorpe: One of the Earliest Reformers of Prison Discipline in England, and the Founder of Georgia, in America An American writer has truly observed that, the life of Oglethorpe was so full of variety, adventure, and achievement, that it would require but little embellish ment to make it a tale of romance. It was the fine combination of chivalry and philanthropy in his cha racter, graced as it was by a variety of accomplish ments and the love of letters, that excited the admira tion of Johnson, called forth the eulogy of P0pe, and induced Thomson to celebrate the praises of the pri soners' friend and the founder of Savannah. Yet to this day, throughout a time, too, which has produced numberless Lives' of much less remarkable men, England has furnished no biography of James Oglethorpe, the precursor of Howard, the establisher of a Colony and defender of others, the generous patron of many rising authors, some of whom afterwards left their marks in English literature, and a man whose long career abounded with incident. Nor has the omission been caused by insufficiency of materials in dustry and perseverance only were necessary to gather and arrange the scattered fragments.

NOVEMBER, 1731--APRIL, 1734. The 'Anne/ commanded by Captain Thomas, sailed from Gravesend on the 16th of November, with about one hundred and twenty emigrants, who, besides Mr. Oglethorpe, were accompanied by the Reverend Henry Herbert, a Church of England clergyman, in the capacity of chaplain, and Mr. Amatis, a Piedmontese, who had been engaged by the Trustees to instruct the colonists in rearing silk-worms and the art of winding silk. Oglethorpe had not only furnished his cabin, and laid in provisions for himself and his servants at his own expense, but during the voyage he contributed largely towards the comfort of his poor fellow-passengers. The 'Anne' touched at Madeira, where she took in five tuns of wine, and, on the 13th of January, 1733, dropped anchor outside the bar of Charlestown harbour, South Carolina. All, except two delicate children who died on the passage, had been well on board, and arrived in good health. Mr. Oglethorpe, having first called the emigrants together, and returned thanks with them for the happy termination of their voyage, then went on shore, and waited upon His Excellency Robert Johnson, Governor of the province, who, together with his Council, received him warmly, and treated him with every mark of respect. Aware of the benefit which Carolina must derive from the new Plantation, they promised him every assistance in their power, and ordered the King's pilot to conduct the ship into Port Royal, some eighty miles southward, whence the colonists were to be conveved in small vessels to the river Savannah. Next day the 'Anne' again set sail, and proceeded along the coast until she arrived off an island, on which Mr. Oglethorpe landed with a few men, whom he directed to prepare huts for the...

"The General seemed unwilling to enter upon it then;" but, upon a subsequent occasion, communicated to Boswell a number of particulars, which were committed to writing; but that gentleman "not having been sufficiently diligent in obtaining more from him," death closed the opportunity of procuring all the requisite information.
