現代語訳

らしめる。教法が盛んに行われることと政令が均一であることは、まことに本州勃興の源である。その法使・会士等は条制があって明党を結ぶことを禁じている。およそ国人が信従してその賢を許可する者は高官に抜擢し、出身の崇卑を論じない。貴官も休職の後は故郷に帰って老を養う。また「ニグロ」産の奴隷は「バージニア」「カロライナ」地方では各家がこれを使役して永く駆逐せず、身を終えるに至る。およそ前に挙げる政体は総州皆同一にして、その最も嗜好する所は英風を模倣するにあり。またその地には幾多の経済学を講ずる社を分けて派流も多般にして互いに相切磋する。然れどもその学の根底は皆英国に出づ。また諸州の民種が聚合して一種の民となっている。往昔は各本地の語言習俗を分つであろう。今世なお遺存する者あり。然れども終に会同して一となる。この種族は英とは殊に別異なる徒といえども、また英の語言習尚を擬している。

英語訳

This ensures that the flourishing practice of religious law and the uniformity of political ordinances are truly the source of this state's rise. The legal officials and councilors have regulations that prohibit forming political parties. Generally, those whom the people trust and whose virtue they approve are promoted to high office, regardless of the nobility or lowliness of their birth. Even high officials return to their hometowns to care for their elderly after retirement. Also, slaves of "Negro" origin in the "Virginia" and "Carolina" regions are employed by each household and are not permanently expelled, serving until the end of their lives. Generally, the governmental system mentioned above is uniform across all states, and what they most prefer is imitating English customs. Also, in that land there are many societies that teach economics, divided into numerous schools of thought that mutually compete with each other. However, the foundation of their learning all originates from England. Also, the various ethnic groups of the states have gathered together to become one people. In the past, they would have been divided by the languages and customs of their respective homelands. Even now, some remnants still exist. However, they eventually unite to become one. Although this race is distinctly different from the English, they also imitate English language and customs.
