Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
80
Great
numbers
of
small
cattle
and
other
domestic
animals
enriched
the
view,
and
a
profusion
of
flowers,
tastefully
arranged
in
the
vicinity
of
every
house,
filled
the
air
with
perfume,
and
charmed
the
eye
with
their
variegated
beauties.
No
fogs
or
vapours
obscured
the
charming
prospect,
nor
formed
in
wainrows
[3]
to
ornament
the
scene,
the
mild
influence
of
the
sun
not
being
sufficient
to
produce
rapid
exhalations,
nor
the
nights
cold
enough
to
condense
them
into
vapour.
Nature's
fairest
landscape
requires
no
mantle
to
obscure
its
beauties,
or
to
heighten
their
effect.
The
active
inhabitants
all
seemed
engaged
in
something
useful.
Some
were
tending
their
cattle;
some
cultivating
vegetables,
fruits,
and
flowers,
while
others
practised
the
mechanic
arts.
As
we
passed
on
through
this
enchanting
country,
Surui,
the
eldest
of
my
conductors,
instructed
me
in
the
civil
polity,
customs,
manners,
and
habits
of
this
people.
From
him
I
learned,
that
in
Symzonia
all
power
emanated
from
the
people;
that
the
affairs
of
the
nation
were
directed
by
1.
A
chief,
who
was
honoured
with
the
title
of
Best
Man,
and
who
held
his
situation
for
life,
unless
impeached
of
crime;
but
whose
issue
was
considered
ineligible
to
the
same
office
for
one
generation
after
his
decease.
2.
An
ordinary
council
of
one
hundred
worthies,
who
assembled
twice
in
each
year,
and
oftener
when
circumstances
made
it
necessary,
to
give
advice
to
the
Best
Man.
3.
A
grand
council
of
worthies,
who
assembled
once
in
four
years,
to
admit
members
to
their
body,
collect
the
sense
of
the
nation
on
all
public
affairs,
and
aid
the
Best
Man
with
their
judgment
in
the
appointment
of
Efficients
to
discharge
the
executive
duties
of
the
state.
