Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From a Settlement In these days, when people are beginning to realise that to help the poor is not as easy as it sounds, and that some, so-called, charitable work does more harm than good, Settlements have been founded in order that those who wish to help others may learn to do so in the best way. There is, for instance, the well-educated girl who is not really wanted at home, and who would like to study social questions and do charitable work, had she not that uneasy feeling that she is both ignorant and incompetent. To her a Settlement may be both a training-school and a centre for useful work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From Lexington and the Illinois: Containing a Brief Account of the English Settlement in the Latter Territory, and a Refutation of the Misrepresentations of Mr. Cobbett As to the various reports about the state of health, they may be easily accounted for by comparing dates. On the arrival of emigrants in the summer of 1818, there were no cabins to shelter them from the heat of the sun by day, or from the dew, by night; neither a cow or pig for food, and scarcely a sufficiency for human subsistence to be procured: sickness to a considerable degree prevailed; but not more than three or four cases of death ensued. Since these inconveniences have [iv] been overcome, few places, I believe I may say in the world, have been healthier than the English settlement in the Illinois. I trust my friends and acquaintance in England, who interest themselves in our concerns, retain that good opinion of me, as to believe me incapable, from any motive, of laying before them inducements to emigrate to a station, where their existence or comfort would be likely to be threatened by diseases not prevalent in the same degree, at least, as in their own country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From Illinois Most of these Letters were written to my intimate friends; others are in reply to applications made to me by entire strangers, for advice or information, some directing their inquiries to one point, and some to another. In answering, I generally kept pretty much to the tenor of the questions, as there would have been no end of the labour of communicating to every one, separately, information on every topic; yet, to some or other of my correspondents, I have had occasion to touch on most subjects interesting to an emigrant.

Download or read book Letters on Florida Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters on Florida, Vol. 1 The old inhabitants retired to other countries more consonant to their habits, their religion and their language, depopulating those cities, which on the other hand offered no inducement to our enterprising citizens, by reason of the very sterile back country in the neighborhood of both. In the meantime, the general government was taking its measures for the administration and settlement of this new acquisition. A seat of government was selected by commissioners - the present Tallahassee. The territorial government was soon established in its present form. Commissioners were appointed, and laws passed, to look into and regulate the pending land claims. Attention was turned to Pensacola from its situation in the Gulph, and its very convenient waters as a naval arsenal. Another station was contemplated about the desolate Tortugas, or the now well settled Key West. These dispositions tended to introduce settlers of various descriptions; while the owners of lands were strenuous on their side, not only to improve their own possessions, but to make sales to others. Other laws were framed for the more speedy settlement of pending land claims; and lastly, a general land office was opened for the disposal of those of the public property. From these causes, the spirit of enterprise was gradually awakened, and the population increased, insomuch, that by a census taken in the beginning of 1831, I find the whole number was 34,725, viz: whites, 18,385;free colored, 840;slaves, 15,500, a vast increase in ten years. And speedier far might have been its progress but for some circumstances, which it is now painful for me to recur to, and more painful still to have witnessed, although I now hope they have ceased for ever to exert their deadly influence near us. First, no men of solid capital had yet appeared amongst us, and there was no money of a circulating medium to meet the wants of the country. - There existed an unconquerable zeal in the raising the sugar cane, while no effort could stamp it as staple commodity. Lastly, land speculators, who had obtained the first purchases at very low prices, were vaunting an article which was found not to correspond with their representations, and being so discovered, was depreciated to the opposite extreme, while the peaceful, industrious cultivator was deterred from purchasing, by the portions of land which were hung up in litigation in the courts prevented him from making his selections. Such was Florida. I shall have occasion to amplify the subject of which the above may be considered by you as the text, but before we part, let me say a few words, to give you an idea the same as it is. First, some powerful emigrations have taken place. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From Canterbury, New Zealand To all those gentlemen I am only too happy to have an opportunity of publicly acknowledging my obliga tion, as well as to the Commissioner of Crown Lands, the Provincial Secretary, and the surveyors and other officials in their respective offices, from whom I have obtained very valuable assistance. I have taken no pains to render my book amusing to the mere fireside traveller, who may easily find plenty of well-written and very interesting accounts of New Zealand scenery, national customs, massacres in the days of heathenism, and missionary labours and success at a more recent period. But I shall be more than satisfied, if those who really think of settling among us find in it any information which may prove useful in the way either of direction or caution; and both, they may be assured, will be needed by them, if they wish to avoid the mistakes into which most of us fell in the early days of the settlement.
