The Author.
ADVERTISEMENT
The principal materials that form this dramatic trifle are extracted from the General History of Virginia, written by Captain Smith, and printed London, folio, 1624; and as close an adherence to historic truth has been preserved as dramatic rules would allow of. The music[2] was furnished by Mr. John Bray, of the New Theatre.
