A rather scarce early piece of North Carolina marketing or promotional material issued at the behest of the Governor. It attempts to answer concerns of emigrants and investors related to the large sections of the state many thought unusable.

North Carolina rare book dealer, Jim Crotts, describes the work as "exceptionally scarce."
