If Sco Acres of unclear'd Land there, indifferently chofer, will keep as many Mich Cures, or Jat as many BaBecky for the market m Summer, as sc Acres of im- proved Land wi England, as chofen aforefad, can do, then by Computing the value of the Summers Grafs of fuch fifty Acres of Land here. we find the better and the value of soo Acres of Land in America; for wktun that compafs. the tume quantity of Cartie may be well kept Admit this then, that the Summers Grafs of se Acres of midding Land in England, is worth 15 / I conceive that makes 20 1, which is the price of the Inhentance of the sco Acres, no dear Purchafs.

O P dat het verder blijken mach , hoe onfe goederen en landeryen , in die qua .. tieren van America, vermeerdere en verbetert kunnen worden, fo heb ik tot meerder onderricht en verfekeringe van die geene , die daar na fouden mo- gen vragen , voorgenoomen aan mijn eygen ervarentheyt en kennile in die fake, nevens de opmerkingen van andere, miet foo veel omftandigheden als 't doenlijk is, voor teftellen onder de leven navolgende hooftftukken.
I. Het voordeel dat 'er valt op den invoer van gelt , en koopmanfchappen.
II. Het voordeel op den arbeyt , 't zy van ambachten of anders.
III. Het voordeel dat 'er is te doen , met het land felfs.
IV. Wat hict koften zal om een huysgelin derwaarts te voeren , en cen plantagie san tr ftellen.
V. Op wat wijfe de arme lyden fouden konnen overgevoert worden , met voordeel voor de Rijke, die haar daarin fouden behulpzaam wefen.
VI. Hoe gemakkelijker , en bequamer datmen aldaar fijn nakomelingen kan verforgen, en voornamentlyk de geene , die nice feer Riik zijn.
VII. Wat voor gereedschappen en koopmanfchappen beft zijn , om daar na toe re bren . gen, 't zy om felts te gebruyken , rzy om daar met profije te verkoopen.
1. Wat nu het ceifte Hooftftuk belangt, ftukken van achten , of Spainfe pattacons, geven 30. ten hondert avance, en koopmanfchappen wel ingekocht, so. ten hondert, fulks dat , genoomen dat ik hadde maar ico. 1. fterlings of 450. pattacons, of Rijksdaal- ders , indien nuijn familie maar uyt 6. perfoonen beftaat , foo fal ik de vracht-pentungen uyt de winften op het gelt betaalen , en mijn 100. 1. daar te lande noch hebben. Op goc. deren wel ingekocht , en wei geforteert , valt 'er noch meer profijt : Maar een deel in gel - de is fecr dienftig , om des handels wille. Want men vindt dat de waren daar door beter getrokken worden : fulks dat gemerkt de groote quantiteyt van waren alreede daar henen gevoert , het niet ongeraden is datmen tegenwoordig d'een helft in gelde , en de ander in koopmanfchappen neemt.
Dit zy genoech in 't generaal gefeyt. Maar de Coopluyden bevinden byfonderlijk hant felven aangemcedigt door het profijt, dar felden minder is als so. ten hondert, 'twelk een groote avance is. "Wy hebben ook verfcheyde faken , om in Retouren te fenden, als Vellen, Peltery, Traan, Oly, Tabak &c.
2. Wat den arbeyt of arbeyts-loon aangaat, 'tzy voor ambachts-luyden, of andere. daar voor is de aanmoediginge mede confiderabel , om dat men daar meer wint als hier in Engelant ; Want de waren of manufacturen , diemen daar komt te maken , worden gede- biteert voor defelve prijs als die, die by de Coopman ingevoert worden, en de levens-midde- len , daar immers foo goet koop wefende als hier in Engelant, foo'moeten de ambachts- luyden in America een feer goede tyt en gelegentheyt hebben, om datfe een dobbelde
