  • Dr. Thomas Bray and the Charitable Colony Project, 1730

    Verner W CraneARTICLEThe William and Mary Quarterly1962

    IN a conversation in the House of Commons, February I3, I730, with Viscount Percival, afterwards Earl of Egmont-a colleague on the Gaols Committee of the last session-James Edward Oglethorpe described his first modest conception of a charitable colony in America for the relief of the poor.

    Verner W CraneARTICLEThe William and Mary Quarterly1954
