There is no man in all the parish of greater consequence, either in fact or in seeming self-estimation, than Thomas McCornock, Esq.

He is a Scotchman, as is also Mr.Barclay.The custos received us with as much freedom as the dignity of his numerous offices would admit of.

The overseer, (manager,) Mr.Duncan, is an intelligent, active, business man, and on any other estate than Golden Grove, would doubtless be a personage of considerable distinction.

He conducted us through the numerous buildings, from the boiling-house to the pig-stye.

The principal complaint of the overseer, was that he could not make the people work to any good purpose.
