Transcriber's Notes:
This is one of a series of 23 pamphlets produced in 1957 in celebration of the 350th anniversary of the founding of the Jamestown colony in Virginia. Research indicates that the copyright on this book was not renewed.
Spelling was left unchanged throughout.
Footnotes were indented and moved to the end of the chapter to which they pertain.
Extra spaces within lists of names were removed. Extra spaces within text were retained where they indicate omitted text in the original manuscript. The printer used multiple footnote anchors, numbered 24 and 25, to indicate some of these blank spaces. Duplicates were changed to 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 25a, 25b, 25c, and 25d.
A comma was replaced with a period at the end of a sentence in the Introduction: ... governing body. It was thus ...
A semicolon was replaced with a period at the end of numbered paragraph 9 in the "Instructions ... to Sir Thomas West ..."
In the "Instructions to the Governor and Council of State," brackets around paragraph number [22] indicate the number was missing in the original. The number is not a footnote anchor.
