The British Emigrant Society, established in Sus- quehanna county, have read with much attention the following Letters, from one of their members. They have carefully examined the statements con- tained in them, and fully concur in opinion as to their correctness. The object of the Society has been to secure an eligible situation for their countrymen ; and by ob- taining a large tract of laud, to enable them to set- tle together, and, at the same time, to procure the land at a low price. In this, they have been met by the liberality of the proprietor, who was pleased V PREFACE. with their intentions, and desirous or promoting them. As the Society disclaim all speculations, they iuvite their countrymen to the spot, which they have selected, on the terms of their contract; requiring only, as a claim to the privileges which it offers, that those who come, shall bring with them a good moral character.
