Excerpt from Biographical Memorials of James Oglethorpe: Founder of the Colony of Georgia in North America Having Visited the South for the benefit of my health, I arrived at Savannah, in Georgia, on the l0th of Feb ruary, 1834; and, indulging the common inquisitiveness of a stranger about the place, was informed that just one hundred and one years had elapsed since the first settlers were landed there, and the city laid out. Re plies to other inquiries, and especially a perusal of mccall's History of the State, excited a lively interest in the character of General oglethorpe, who was the founder of the Colony, and in the measures which he pursued for its advancement, defence, and prosperity. I was, however, surprised to learn that no biography had been published of the man who projected an under taking of such magnitude and importance; engaged in it on principles the most benevolent and disinterested; persevered till its accomplishment, under circumstances exceedingly arduous, and often discouraging; and lived to see a few become a thousand, and a weak one the flourishing part of a strong nation.
