Thomas Budd's 1685 promotional tract describes Pennsylvania and West New-Jersey for prospective English settlers, covering geography, climate, produce, fish, game and livestock. Its main proposal is a system of public storehouses for hemp, flax and linen cloth, with public spinning and trade schools, a public bank and granaries, so that a local flax and linen industry could be built. It includes cost estimates for settling families, a description of a Dutch spinning school, and a note on Indian relations. It ends with John Cripps's letter and the dying words of the Indian king Ockanichon, an account of a conference with the Indians at Burlington, and a letter from Budd to Friends.
