and the Capture of Seals on the South, which if rightly undertaken, and with Vigour ſet on Foot, will bring as much, nay far more Profit than the Salmon and Cod-catching does in other Places; chiefly the Seal-Capture, which can be undertaken at very ſmall Expences, viz. at the Coſt with ſtrong Nets, with which they may catch many thouſands in Greenland; which, if hitherto not practiſed, ought to be imputed to Negligence and want of a good Regulation. In ſhort, Greenland, as we ſee, is very convenient for Trading, and may be very well worth one's while to take in Hand. But there is little to be done, without an eſtablished and formed Company of Men of Subſtance as well as Reſolution; being altogether impoſſible and above the Strength of any private Man to maſter it, and go through with it.
