Excerpt from The History of the United States of North America, Vol. 2 of 4: From the Plantation of the British Colonies Till Their Assumption of National Independence His colonial policy is thus contrasted by an old writer, with that of Chief. Justice Popham, the promoter of the first attempts to colonize New England Judge Popham and Sir George Calvert agreed not more unanimously in the public design of planting, than they differed in the private way of it: the first was for extirpating heathens, the second for converting them. He sent away the lewdest, this the soberest people the one was for present profit, the other for a reasonable expectation - the first set up a common stock, out of which the people should be provided, by proportions; the second left every one to provide for himself.
