hopes to see many millions of this great work printed in those
different countries and languages before his death.

After this business is pretty well established, he has promised to
put a friend on another project almost as good as this, by
establishing insurance offices everywhere for securing people from
shipwreck and several other accidents in their voyage to this
country; and these officers shall furnish, at a certain rate, pilots
well versed in the route, and that know all the rocks, shelves,
quicksands, &c., that such pilgrims and travellers may be exposed
to. Of these he knows a great number ready instructed in most
countries; but the whole scheme of this matter he is to draw up at
large and communicate to his friend.
