Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
101
Finding
that
the
longer
we
conversed
on
the
habits,
manners,
and
sentiments
of
the
externals,
the
lower
they
would
sink
in
the
estimation
of
this
truly
enlightened
man,
I
endeavoured
to
turn
the
discourse
to
our
acquisitions
in
useful
knowledge,
in
full
confidence
that
on
this
subject
I
should
have
a
decided
advantage,
and
be
able
to
raise
the
people
of
the
external
world
to
a
high
place
in
his
consideration.
I
spoke
of
the
perfection
to
which
we
had
arrived
in
the
manufacture
of
apparel;
of
muslins
wrought
so
fine
as
not
to
obstruct
the
sight,
and
worth
per
square
yard,
the
value
of
two
months
labour
of
an
able-bodied
man;
of
the
shawls
of
Cashmere,
so
exquisitely
made,
as
to
be
valued
at
two
years
labour
of
an
industrious
farmer
or
mechanic;
of
laces
to
ornament
the
dresses
of
our
wives
and
daughters,
one
pound
weight
of
which
would
amount
to
a
sum
sufficient
to
purchase
the
labour
of
four
men
for
life;
of
splendid
cut
glass,
and
ornamental
wares,
dazzling
to
the
eye
of
the
beholder;
of
works
of
silver
and
of
gold,
so
beautifully
wrought,
and
so
much
valued,
as
to
be
objects
of
adoration
to
many
of
our
people.
The
Best
Man
could
hear
me
no
further
on
this
subject;
he
pronounced
these
things
to
be
useless
baubles,
the
creation
of
vanity,
pernicious
in
their
influence
upon
the
foolish,
who
might
be
so
weak
as
to
place
their
affections
on
them,
and
the
production
of
them
a
most
preposterous
perversion
of
the
faculties
bestowed
upon
us
by
a
beneficent
Creator
for
useful
purposes.
What
possible
use
could
there
be
for
a
garment,
which
would
neither
retain
warmth
to
the
body,
nor
protect
it
from
external
evils,
or
from
the
observation
of
others?
And
what
apology
could
be
found
for
wasting
the
labour
of
four
men
for
life,
which,
properly
directed,
would
supply
the
wants
of
twenty
human
beings,
to
provide
ornaments
for
those
who,
if
not
arrayed
in
the
white
robes
of
purity
and
virtue,
must
be
odious,
although
bedizened
with
all
the
finery
which
human
ingenuity
can
devise.
