Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Calvin Jones: Physician, Soldier and Freemason
Concerning emigrants from Europe to America, Dr. Jones added: There are many Of them who were an honor to their own country, and who are now an orna ment to this. I Object only to these vagrant wretches who have no trade or profession but thieving and sedition; whose schools Of education have been jails and armies, and who transport themselves here to avoid a transporta tion to Botany Bay, or to elude the pitiless noose Of the hangman.
The session Of 1802 ended the services of Dr. Jones as a member Of the House Of Commons from Johnston County, but, after his removal to Raleigh, he was hon ored with a seat in the same body as a representative from the county Of Wake, as will be mentioned later on.
