Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
86
None
but
Worthies
are
permitted
to
enter
the
district
of
the
assembly
during
the
sitting.
The
first
month,
of
the
assembly
is
passed
in
devotional
exercises,
and
the
interchange
of
visits
and
civilities,
all
vieing
with
one
another
in
endeavours
to
advance
the
happiness
of
those
about
them,
and
in
conversing
on
matters
important
or
useful
to
the
commonweal.
After
comparing
ideas
with
one
another
for
a
month,
they
appoint
a
committee
from
their
number
to
sit
in
grand
council
one
month,
and
no
longer.
All
but
the
committee
then
return
home,
unless
business,
or
a
desire
to
offer
their
advice
on
some
subject
to
the
particular
notice
of
the
committee,
induces
them
to
remain.
Surui
described
the
enjoyments
of
the
season
of
the
grand
assemblage
with
the
most
enthusiastic
expressions
of
delight.--None
but
the
Good,
the
Wise,
the
Useful,
none
but
the
virtuous
and
benevolent,
are
then
within
the
circuit
of
the
district.
The
rarest
gratifications
of
which
the
human
mind
is
susceptible
in
intellectual
intercourse,
were
then
enjoyed
without
a
sense
of
evil.
To
me,
who
had
been
accustomed
to
see
a
great
proportion
of
mankind
constantly
devoted
to
hard
labour,
or
incessantly
applying
to
business,
to
obtain
a
precarious
subsistence;
to
see
them,
not
content
with
the
efforts
which
might
be
made
by
day,
wearing
out
their
health
and
lives
in
toil
by
the
midnight
lamp,
and
scarcely
obtaining
what
are
considered
the
necessaries
of
life,--it
was
difficult
to
comprehend
how
a
great
proportion
of
this
people
could
leave
their
business
and
their
homes,
to
pass
months
in
a
non-productive
state,
without
oppressing
the
remainder
of
the
people
with
intolerable
burdens.
But
I
was
told
that
the
Worthies
received
nothing
for
their
services,
and
were
able
to
provide
without
difficulty
for
themselves:
all
the
revenue
of
the
country
was
devoted
to
the
maintenance
of
the
Efficients,
(who
were
paid
for
the
time
actually
devoted
to
public
affairs,)
and
to
works
of
public
utility.
