1717. “to the colony, besides one hundred and fifty galley slaves, and several hundred females taken from the charity & correction houses. During the same period one thousand four hundred & forty one Africans were landed in Louisiana. This increase of population not having been accompanied with a proportional enlargement of the means of subsistence, involved the whole colony in deepest distress, so that hundreds perished with hunger.” Ling: Ch: 89.
