Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
131
I
admitted
that
the
permission
of
a
free
intercourse
with
the
externals,
might
be
productive
of
great
mischief
to
his
people,
by
introducing
vice
and
disease,
which
had
been
observed
to
spring
up
amongst
the
South
Sea
islanders,
and
other
unsophisticated
nations,
soon
after
their
discovery
by
Europeans
and
Americans;
but
urged
that
a
limited
intercourse,
under
strict
regulations,
might
be
productive
of
much
good;
and
that
the
Symzonians
would,
in
that
case,
enjoy
the
sweet
reflection,
that
they
had
contributed
to
the
reformation
of
many
of
the
externals,
by
the
beauty
and
loveliness
of
their
example,
and
at
the
same
time
have
the
benefit
of
more
expanded
views
of
the
works
of
a
beneficent
Creator,
through
the
information
which
they
might
derive
from
the
externals.
To
effect
this
very
desirable
end,
I
proposed,
that
Token
Island
should
be
established
as
a
place
of
meeting
and
intercourse,
where
the
externals
might
erect
places
of
abode,
and
remain
through
the
winter,
and
have
communication
with
such
of
the
Symzonians
as
the
Best
Man,
in
council,
might
be
pleased
to
license
for
that
purpose;
and
that
the
useful
metal
iron,
which
was
not
to
be
found
in
Symzonia
in
sufficient
quantities
to
supply
the
wants
of
the
people,
was
very
abundant
in
the
external
world,
and
would
be
brought
and
exchanged
for
articles
which
the
Symzonians
considered
useless,
or
nearly
so.
The
Best
Man
objected
to
this
scheme.
He
had
not
forgotten
the
evils
related
to
have
followed
the
ancient
commerce
with
the
Belzubians.
He
also
urged,
that
Token
Island
was
situated
in
the
worst
region
of
the
earth,
where
the
extreme
heat
and
great
humidity
of
the
air
would
generate
violent
diseases
amongst
those
who
should
have
the
temerity
to
remain
there
in
the
presence
of
the
sun.
