We Shall try to see what callings the Ameri cans found would pay them best, what inventions they had to make to meet the new conditions of life where they had to do without many helps to which they had been used at home — to make bread without great mills to grind their flour, to build houses without boards and timbers ready shaped to their hands, to find or make for them selves many articles Of daily use, such as soap, sugar, candles and Cloth, which they had been used to buy in well provided shops. And over all these difficulties we Shall see them winning their way, not only to comfort.
