Excerpt from A Memoir of General James Oglethorpe: One of the Earliest Reformers of Prison Discipline in England, and the Founder of Georgia, in America An American writer has truly observed that, the life of Oglethorpe was so full of variety, adventure, and achievement, that it would require but little embellish ment to make it a tale of romance. It was the fine combination of chivalry and philanthropy in his cha racter, graced as it was by a variety of accomplish ments and the love of letters, that excited the admira tion of Johnson, called forth the eulogy of P0pe, and induced Thomson to celebrate the praises of the pri soners' friend and the founder of Savannah. Yet to this day, throughout a time, too, which has produced numberless Lives' of much less remarkable men, England has furnished no biography of James Oglethorpe, the precursor of Howard, the establisher of a Colony and defender of others, the generous patron of many rising authors, some of whom afterwards left their marks in English literature, and a man whose long career abounded with incident. Nor has the omission been caused by insufficiency of materials in dustry and perseverance only were necessary to gather and arrange the scattered fragments.
