Think how joyful their arrival would be! The island was fertile when cultivated; and all was prepared to make the time pass agreeably, till they were admitted to their highest honours.
"At the moment of embarkation, the Great King sent his own son, who spoke thus to them in His name:-- "'My dear children, I have called you from inaction and insensibility to render you happy by feeling, by action, by life.

Never forget I am your king, and obey my commands, by cultivating the country I confide to you.
Every one will receive his portion of land, and wise and learned men are appointed to explain my will to you.

I wish you all to acquire the knowledge of my laws, and that every father should keep a copy, to read daily to his children, that they may never be forgotten.

And on the first day of the week you must all assemble, as brothers, in one place, to hear these laws read and explained.

Thus it will be easy for every one to learn the best method of improving his land, what to plant, and how to cleanse it from the tares that might choke the good seed.
