A Prospect of Carolina with the Scituation and Product thereof CArolina so called from his late Majesty King Charles the Second of Glorious memory is a Colony not long since established by the English and is that part of Florida adjoining to Virginia between twenty nine and thirty six degrees of Northern Latitude On the East it is washed with the Atlantick Ocean and is bounded on the West by Mare Pacificum or the South Sea and within these bounds is contained the most fertile and pleasant part of Florida which is so much commended by the Spanish Authors Of which I cannot give a more ample Account than has been done already by an Englishman who has lived and was concerned in the settlement thereof and shall therefore repeat what he has deliveted in his own words This Province of Carolina was in the Year 1663. Granted by Letters Patents of his late Gracious Majesty in Propriety unto the Right Honourable Edward Earl of Clarendon George Duke of Albemarl William Earl of Craven John Lord Berkely Anthony Lord Ashly now Earl of Shaftsbury Sir George Carteret and Sir John Colleton Knights and Baronets Sir William Berkely Knight by which Letters Patents the Laws of Eagland are to be of force in Carolina but the Lords Proprietors have power with the consent of the Inhabitants to make By-Laws for the better Government of the said Province So that no Money can be raised or Law made without the consent of the Inhabitants or their Representatives They have also power to appoint and impower Governours and other Magistrates to Grant Liberty of Conscience make Constitutions c. With many other great Ptiviledges as by the said Letters Patents will more largely appear And the said Lords Proprietors have there setled a Constitution of Government whereby is granted Liberty of Conscience and wherein all possible care is taken for the equal Administration of Justice and for the lasting Security of the Inhabitants both in their Persons and Estates By the care and endeavours of the said Lords Proprietors and at their very great charge two Colonies have been setled in this Province the one at Albemarle in the most Northerly part the other at Ashly River which is in the Latitude of thirty two Degrees od Minutes Albemarle bordering upon Virginia and only exceeding it in Health Fertility and Mildness of the Winter is in the Growths Productions and other things much of the same nature with it Wherefore I shall not trouble the Reader with a particular Description of that part but apply my self principally to discourse of the Colony at Ashly-River which being many Degrees more Southward than Virginia differs much from it in the Nature of its Climate and Productions Ashly-River was first setled in April 1670. the Lords Proprietors having at their sole charge set out three Vessels with a considerable number of able Men eighteen Moneths Victuals with Clothes Tools Ammunition and what else was thought necessary for a new Settlement and continued at this charge to supply the Colony for divers years after until the Inhabitants were able by their own Industry to live of themselves in which condition they have been for divers years past and are arrived to a very great Degree

answers doubtfully and sometimes false when the Savages are hungry they consult with this Oracle and he tells them the place where they shall go if they find no game the excuse is the Beast hath wandered and changed his place but most times they speed which makes them believe the Devil to be God though they do not Worship him when these Conjurers consult with the Devil they fix a staff in a Pit to which they tye a Cord and putting their Head into the Pit make Invocations in an unknown Language with so much stirring and pains that they sweat again when the Devil is come the Wizard persuades them he holds him fast with his Cord forcing him to answer before he lets him go Then he begins to sing something in praise of the Spirit who hath discovered where there are some Deer and the other Savages answer in the same Tune they then dance and sing in a strange Tongue after which they make a Fire and leap over it putting an half Pole out of the top of the Cabbin wherein they are

Sables sowed wheat Rie Turneps and Coleworts their winter was dry and clear with some Frost and Snow divers had the Scurvy whereto the Turneps there Sown were a Soveraign Remedy There are Musk Cats and Musk Rats and near the Coasts is great killing of Morses or Sea Oxen a small Ship in a short time slew fifteen hundred of them they are bigger than an Oxe the Hide dressed is as thick again as a Bulls they have teeth like Elephants about a foot long growing downward out of the upper Jaw and therefore less dangerous it is sold dearer than Ivory and by some thought as great an Antidote as the Unicorns Horn The young ones eat like Veal which the old will defend to the utmost holding them in their Arms or Forefeet Out of the Bellies of five of these Fishes which live both on the Land and water they make an Hogshead of Train-Oyle Thomas James says these Morses sleep in great Companys and have one Centinel or watchman to wake the rest upon occasion Their skins are short-haired like Seals their face resembles a Lion and may therefore more justly be called Sea Lions than Sea Oxen or Horses About the great Bank aforementioned which is covered with Water when the Sea is high uncovered and dry on the Ebb on all sides whereof the Sea is 200 Fathom deep is the great Fishing for Cod and here the Ships do for the most part stop and make their Freight It is almost incredible how many Nations and of each how many Sail of ships go yearly to fish for these Cods with the prodigious quantity they take one man catching an hundred in an hour They fish with Hooks which are no sooner thrown into the Sea but the greedy Fish snapping the Bait is taken and drawn on shipboard where they lay him on a Plank one cuts off his head another guts him and takes out its biggest bones another salts and barrels it which being thus ordered is hence transported by the European Nations to all parts of Christendom yea throughout most other parts of the world They fish only in the day the Cod not biting in the night nor doth this fishing last all seasons but begins toward Spring and ends in September for in Winter they retire to the bottom of the Sea where storms and Tempests have no Power Near these Coasts is another kind of fishing for Cod which they call Dried as the other Green Fish The Ships retire into some Harbour every morning send forth their Shallops two or three Leagues into the Sea who fail not of their Load by noon or soon after which they bring to Land and order as the other after this Fish hath layn some days in Salt they take it out and dry it in the wind laying it again in heaps and exposing it dayly to the open Air till it be dry which ought to be good and Temperate to make the Fish saleable for Mists moisten and make it rot and the Sun causes yellowness At this their fishing the Mariners have likewise the pleasure of taking Fowl without going out of their Vessels for baiting their Hook with the Cods Liver these Fowls are so greedy that they come by Flocks and fight who shall get the bait first which soon proves its death and one being taken the Hook is no sooner thrown out but another is instantly catched In 1623. Sir George Calvert after Lord Baltimore had a Patent for part of New-found-land which was erected into the Province of Avalon where he setled a Plantation and erected a stately house and Fort at Ferriland where he dwelt for some time which after his death descended to his Son the present Lord Baltimore wh● is also Proprietor of Maryland CHAP IV.

To each Master or Mistress of a Family fifty acres for every able son or man-servant they shall carry or cause to be transported into Carolina fifty acres more and the like for each Daughter or Woman servant that is marriageable and for each child man or woman servant under sixteen yeart of age forty acres and fifty acres of Land to each servant when out of their time this Land to be injoy'd by them and their Heirs for ever they paying a penny an Acre Quit-rent to the Lords Proprietors the Rent to commence in two years after their taking up their Land But forasmuch as divers persons who are already Inhabitants of Carolina others that have Intentions to transport themselves into that Province desire not to be cumber'd with paying of a Rent also to secure to themselves good large convenient tracts of Land without being forc'd to bring thither a great number of servants at one time The Lords Proprietors have been Prevail'd upon and have agreed to sell to those who have a mind to buy Land after the rate of fifty pound for a Thousand Acres reserving a Pepper-Corn per annum Rent when demanded The way of any ones taking up his Land due to him either by carrying himself or servants into the Country or by purchasing it of the Lords Proprietors is after this manner He first seeks out a place to his mind that is not already possessed by any other then applyes himself to the Governour and Proprietors Deputies and shew what rights he hath to Land either by Purchase or otherwise who thereupon issue out their Warrant to the Surveyor-General to measure him out a Plantation containing the number of actres due to him who making certificate that he hath measur'd out so much Land and the Bounds a Deed is prepar'd of course which is Signed by the Governour and the Lords Proprietors Deputies and the Proprietors Seal affixed to it and Registr'd which is a good Conveyance in Law of the Land therein mention'd to the Party and his Heirs for ever I have here as I take it described a pleasant and fertile Country abounding in health and pleasure and with all things necessary for the sustenance of mankind and wherein I think I have written nothing but truth sure I am I have inserted no wilful falshood I have also told you how men are to have Land that go there to Inhabit But a rational man will certainly inquire When I have Land what shall I doe with it what Commoditys shall I be able to produce that will yield me mony in other Countrys that I may be inabled to buy Negro slaves without which a Planter can never do any great matter and purchase other things for my pleasure and convenience that Carolina doth not produce To this I answer That besides the great profit that will be made by the vast Herds of Cattle and Swine the Country appears to be proper for the Commoditys following viz. Wine There are growing naturally in the Country five sorts of Grapes three of which the French Vignaroons who are there judge will make very good Wine and some of the Lords Proprietors have taken care to send plants of the Rhenish Canary Claret Muscat Madera and ●ish Grapes of all which divers Vinyards are planted some wine was made this year that proved very good both in colour and taste and an indifferent good quantity may be expected the next year The Country hath gentle rising hills of fertil sand proper for Vines and farther from the Sea rock and gravel on which very good grapes grow naturally ripen well and together and very lushious in taste insomuch as the French Protestants who are there and skill'd in wine do no way doubt of producing

about twelve Miles from the chief Town of the Island called St. Jago Next is Port-Morant O●d Harbour Port-Negril and Port-Antonio with divers others The Town of St. Jago de la vega is s●ated six miles within the Land North-west When the Spaniards possest the Isle it was a large famous City of about two Thousand Houses with two Churches two Chappels and an Abbey which when the English took under Venables were destroyed all but five hundred its Churches and Chappels made fewer and the remainder spoiled and defaced But since the settlement of the English they begin to repair the ruinous Houses and it is like to be gr●ater than formerly Passage is another Town six mile from St. Jago and as many from Portugal where are about twenty Houses and a Fort to secure the English going thither In the Spaniards time here were several other Towns which are now disregarded as Sevilla on the North of the Isle once beautified with a Collegiat Church which had an Abbot Melilla in the Northeast where Columbus repaired his Ships at his return from Veragua when he was almost Shipwrackt Oristan toward the South Sea where Peter Seranna lost his Ship upon the adjacent Rocks and Sands and continued here in a Solitary Condition for three years and then had the company of a Mariner for four years more who was likewise Shipwrackt and only saved himself Though there are at present no more Towns yet the Island is divided into fourteen Precincts or Parishes namely Port Royal St. Catherine St. Johns St. Andrews St. Davids St. Thomas and Clarendon many whereof are well inhabited by the English that have

their dayly attempts upon the Spaniards in Panama and other places which for the hazard conduct and daringness of their exploits have by some been compared to the Actions of Caesar and Alexander the
