the Shops of the Crolians were full of Customers, and their People
over Head and Ears in Business; this turn'd many of the Solunarian
Trades-Men quite off of the hooks, and they began to break and decay
strangely, till at last a great many of them to prevent their utter
Ruin, turn'd Crolians on purpose to get a Trade; and what forwarded
that part of it was, that when a Solunarian, who had little or no

come to Trade with him, and his Shop would be full of Customers, so
that this presently encreas'd the number of the Crolians.

Knitters, and all sorts of Manufacturers, run in Crowds to the
Crolian Temples for fear of being starv'd, for the Crolians were two

Country, and the Poor would ha' been starv'd and undone if they had
cast them out of Work. Thus infenfibly the Crolians encreas'd their
number.

Mony from the General Bank but the Bank languisht, Credit sunk, and
in a short time they had little to do, but dissolv'd of Course.

One thing remain'd which People expected would ha' put a Check to
this Undertaking, and that was a way of Trading in Classes, or
Societies, much like our East-India Companies in England; and these
depending upon publick Privileges granted by the Queen of the
Country, or her Predecessors, no Body could Trade to those Parts but
the Persons who had those priviledges: The cunning Crolians, who had
great Stocks in those Trades, and foresaw they could not Trade by
themselves without the publick Grant or Charter, contriv'd a way to
