Excerpt from American Colonial Tracts Monthly, Vol. 1
IN presenting the second volume of its Collections to the public, the Georgia Historical Society cannot but express their satisfaction at the favorable reception which was given to its first volume, and indulge the hope, that the present will equal in interest the one which preceded it.
The former volume presented but one view of the infant settlement of Georgia. It held up a picture, drawn by the projectors and friends of the colony, in which they set forth, with high eulogium, its value and prospective benefit, and thus engaged for it the substantial interests and sympa thies of the benevolent and philanthropic throughout Great Britain.
The present volume exhibits the colony in another as peet; or, rather, there is brought together, in one work, the descriptions of it by its friends and its enemies. The first volume was mostly taken up in showing what the Trustees designed Georgia should be the second, in show ing what, during the first years of its existence, it actually was; the structure of its government - the operations of its principles, and the character and condition of its inbah 1tants.
