_, and must pay the Duty of foreign Iron for all the _pig_
and _sow_ Iron that they make?

I might mention more Projects, that in all Probability would turn to an
extraordinary Advantage, if carried on in _Virginia_; but I presume
these may suffice as a Specimen to shew how useful and easy it is to
promote many Trades, Arts, and Manufactures there, and what Numbers of
poor, idle, and wicked People may there be employed, and get a plentiful
Maintenance and Settlement for their Families, and by their Labour may
enrich themselves, the Planters and Merchants, benefit our Trade,
encrease the Revenue of the Crown, and advance the Interest and Glory of
_Great Britain_, _Ireland_, and all the _English_ Plantations and
Settlements Abroad.

I shall conclude this Scheme with observing, that the People sent over
for such Employments as are here mentioned, when rightly settled, might
have their Provision much cheaper than in _England_, and might have
their Cloths sent over at the best Hand; and might be seated
conveniently on Tracts of Land taken up, bought, or rented by long and
cheap Leases; which besides the Profit of their Labour would secure
Estates for Thousands of poor miserable Wretches, would advance the
Price of Land, and augment the Income of the Quit-Rents.

SCHEME IV.

_Of Trade in_ Virginia.

The Projects before laid down might be put in Execution without any
Impediment to the planting of Tobacco, Corn, _&c._ in the Methods that
are now practised, and without any Loss to the present _Virginia_ Trade,
and Income to the Crown arising from Tobacco, or Decrease of the vast
Quantities of all Sorts of Commodities yearly transported to that large
Plantation. And till such Designs as are here laid down be put in
Execution, or brought to due Regulation and Perfection, it might not be
Cost and Labour thrown away if the _Virginia_ Gentlemen, Traders and
Planters attempted at some, if not all the Things mentioned for their
Advantage in the last Scheme; especially when Tobacco is so very low,
that it is not worth while to plant too much of it, which frequently
happens. They might soon perceive if these Designs would answer
Expectation; and Trials for Experience at their Leisure would not cost
much; for their Experience, I say, rather than their Satisfaction,
because they may be satisfied as to the Practicableness and Usefulness
of most of these Things, from the repeated Proofs that have been already
made in most of th
