[807] This description is usually accompanied by what is called Proposals of Mr. Peter Purry of Neufchatel for the encouragement of Swiss Protestants settling in Carolina, 1731, and this document is also included in Carroll’s Hist. Collections (ii. 121), and will be found in Bernheim’s German Settlements, p. 90, in Col. Jones’ publication, already mentioned, and in other places. Bernheim gives a summarized history of the colony.
[808] Among the publications instigating or recording this immigration, the following are known: Der nunmehro in dem neuen Welt vergnügt und ohne Heimwehe Schweitzer, oder Beschreibung des gegenwärtigen Zustands der Königlichen Englischen Provinz Carolina. Bern, 1734. (Sabin, iii. no. 10,975; Stevens, Bib. Am., 1885, no. 76, £4 14s. 6d.) Neue Nachricht alter und neuer Merkwürdigkeiten, enthaltend ein vertrautes Gespräch und sichere Briefe von dem Landschafft Carolina und übrigen Englishchen Pflantz-Städten in Amerika. Zurich, 1734. (Sabin, iii. no. 10,974.) The Carter-Brown Catalogue (iii. no. 566) mentions a tract, evidently intended to influence immigration to Pennsylvania and the colonies farther south, which was printed in 1737 as Neu-gefundenes Eden.

[812] In April, 1883, there was formed in New York a Huguenot Society of America, under the presidency of John Jay, with vice-presidents to represent each of the distinct settlements of French Protestants prior to 1787,—Staten Island, Long Island, New Rochelle, New Paltz, New Oxford, Boston, Narragansett, Maine, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and South Carolina. Their first report has been printed. Monograph iv. of Bishop Perry’s American Episcopal Church is “The Huguenots in America, and their connection with the Church,” by the Rev. A. V. Wittmeyer.

The Second Report of the Historical Manuscripts Commission, p. 38, notes a collection of letters sent from South Carolina during Gov. Lyttleton’s term, 1756-1765, as being in Lord Lyttleton’s archives at Hagley, in Worcestershire.
