The most elegant of any of the modern reprints.

Dr. FRANCIS L. HAWKS, the editor of this edition, states, that "within his knowledge there are but two tracts, earlier than this, concerning what was called "Virginia." One was published in 1605 and the other in 1608. In Heber's catalogue, mention is made of a still earlier work - Brereton's "Briefe and true relation of the Discovery of the North part of Virginia, 1602," to which list we add Thomas Hariot's "Virginia," 1588.
