The document announces the establishment of a new colony called Georgia in North America by King George II. It invites poor and unfortunate subjects to join, guaranteeing rights of Englishmen and religious liberty except for Roman Catholics and Jews. Colonists will be selected by trustees and must follow rules prohibiting slavery and alcohol. Land ownership is also limited, and the journey will take place on June 9th. An application asks for personal information and qualifications to assess suitability for the colony.
