520 1 $a"The geographical theories and colonization strategies of the Swiss civil servant and entrepreneur Jean Pierre Purry (1675-1736) presented here for the first time in a comprehensive, annotated English-language edition, demonstrate the prominent role that empirical data and scientific knowledge played in his personal New World aspirations.
520 8 $aThe pamphlets Purry authored and published between 1717 and 1732 illustrate an abiding confidence in his theoretical conclusions regarding geography, climatology, and agricultural science. They also bear witness to a prinicipled single-mindedness of purpose that consumed the latter part of his life and ultimately resulted in the founding of Purrysburg Township, South Carolina, in 1732."--BOOK JACKET.
