Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
79
Having
qualified
themselves
to
act
as
interpreters,
they
acquainted
me
that
permission
had
been
given
for
me
to
visit
the
place
of
assembly,
where
the
Best
Man
and
the
council
of
worthies
were
in
session;
but
that
my
vessel
must
remain
where
she
was,
and
none
of
the
people
be
permitted
to
go
out
of
her.
CHAPTER
VIII.
The
Author
leaves
the
ship
to
visit
the
seat
of
government--Description
of
the
country.--Account
of
the
polity
of
the
Symzonians,
as
stated
by
his
conductor.--Comparison
of
the
industry,
its
objects
and
ends
in
the
two
worlds,
and
of
the
necessities
and
habits
of
the
internals
and
externals.--Expulsion
of
the
unworthy
from
Symzonia,
to
a
place
of
exile
near
the
north
pole.--External
world
supposed
to
have
been
peopled
by
the
outcasts.
It
was
the
2d
of
January,
1818,
that
I
set
out
on
this
delightful
visit.
A
native
boat
came
alongside
to
convey
me,
into
which
I
stepped
with
no
more
sense
of
fear
than
might
be
excited
on
going
among
the
spirits
of
the
blessed;
so
perfectly
did
the
appearance,
manners,
conduct,
and
expression
of
countenance
of
this
people
accord
with
my
ideas
of
purity
and
goodness.
On
the
way
to
the
place
of
assembly,
which
was
about
one
hundred
miles
by
water
from
the
harbour
where
the
ship
lay,
much
occurred
to
gratify
my
senses,
instruct
my
mind,
and
delight
my
heart.
We
ascended
the
river,
the
banks
of
which,
and
all
the
country
near
them,
appeared
like
one
beautiful
and
highly
cultivated
garden,
with
neat
low
buildings
scattered
throughout
the
scene.
No
crowded
cities,
the
haunts
of
vice
and
misery,
hung
like
wens
upon
the
lovely
face
of
nature.
An
appearance
of
equality
in
the
condition
and
enjoyments
of
the
people
pervaded
the
country.
The
buildings
were
all
of
them
large
enough
for
comfort
and
convenience,
but
none
of
them
so
large,
or
so
charged
with
ornament,
as
to
appear
to
have
been
erected
as
monuments
of
the
pride
and
folly
of
the
proprietor.
