The greatest obstacle to the complete realization of thegovernor's project, arises from the extreme poverty of the greatbody of the settlers, occasioned, as I have already noticed, bythe limited and precarious market afforded for their produce. Tobuild a house, however small, is an undertaking in this colony asevery where else, which can only be effected with adequate means;and if the colonists do not resort in crowds to these townships, it is not because they are insensible to the advantages w...hichthey would derive from a removal to these seats of security, butbecause their penury chains them to their present dangerous andmiserable hovels, and compels them in spite of their betterreason to hold their lives and property on the most precarious ofall tenures, the caprice of the elements. But could the governorsucceed in this, his project to the utmost, could he induce everysettler on the banks of the Hawkesbury to remove to thesetownships, he would be still far from guaranteeing the colonyfrom the calamitous effects of these inundations; since they arenot periodical, like the risings of the Nile, but happen at alltimes, as well when the crops are in stack as when growing, whenthey are in the infancy of vegetation, as when they have attainedmaturity and are fit for the sickle.
