Print on Demand. This book, which gained notoriety under uncertain circumstances, provides a detailed history of the founding of the Georgia colony in America, including its charter and other official documents. The book begins by introducing Georgia's establishment in 1732, when it was founded as a separate province from South Carolina by royal charter under King George II. The book also explores the charter's significance, as it gave the corporation created to establish and govern the Georgia colony the authority to make laws and regulations for the colony and to acquire and distribute land. The charter also granted the corporation the right to establish a common council to oversee the colony's affairs. The text provides insights into the challenges faced by the Georgia colony's founders, including opposition from Native American tribes, conflicts with British colonial authorities, and the challenges of establishing a sustainable economy. The book sheds light on the motivations and actions of key figures involved in the colony's founding, offering a valuable perspective on the complexities of Georgia's early history. Its insights on the challenges and complexities of establishing a new colony in the 18th century make it a significant contribution to our understanding of American colonial history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

The colony of Georgia has afforded so much subject of conversation to the world, that it is not to be questioned but a true and impartial account of it, from its first settlement to its present period, will be generally agreeable, and the more so, that the subject has hitherto been so much disguised and misrepresented in pamphlets, poems, gazettes, and journals.
If it is asked why this narrative has not been published to the world sooner, we assign two reasons which, we doubt not, will be satisfactory.
First, a number of honorable gentlemen accepted the charge of trustees for executing the purposes in his majesty's most gracious charter, gentlemen whose honor and integrity we never did, nor yet do, call in question; but, to our great misfortune, none of that honorable body (excepting Mr. Ogle thorpe) ever had opportunity of viewing the situation and circumstances of the colony, and judging for themselves as to the necessities thereof. How far Mr. Oglethorpe's schemes were consistent with the welfare or prosperity of it, will best appear from the following narrative.
When experience gradually unfolded to us the alterations we found absolutely requisite to our subsisting, we made all dutiful and submissive applications to these our patrons, in whom we placed so much confidence. This course we judged the most proper and direct, and therefore repeated these our dutiful applications, both to the body of the trustees and to Mr. Oglethorpe; but, alas! Our miseries could not alter his views of things, and therefore we could obtain no redress from him; and the honorable board we found were prejudiced against our petitions, no doubt through misinformation and misrepresentations, and this, we are confident, a further enquiry and time will convince them of.
The inviolable regard we paid to the honorable board kept us from applying to any other power for redress, whilst the least hopes could be entertained of any from them; and weviii. Preface.
