INTRODUCTION\n\nThe first attempt to establish an English settle-ment in Virginia having failed.a more determinedeffort was initiated in 1609.For the new \"VirginiaCompany\"a highly favorable charter was securedfrom King James,and at once a campaign launchedto raise the needed funds and enlist volunteers forthe proposed expedition.Inspired writers issuedpamphlets describing in glowing terms the riches ofVirginia and the advantages that would accrue toEngland from a political conquest of North America;ministers of the gospel,from pulpit and press,earnestly urged the Christian duty of carrying

draft-ing its charter,and in directing its affairs.Amongthe incorporators of the Company were WilliamHerbert,Earl of Pembroke,and Philip Herbert,Earlof Montgomery,his recognized patrons,to whom,in gratitude for the \"so much favour\"they had ex-tended to him,the First Folio was dedicated.At thehead of the \"Royal Council for Virginia\"as set upby the charter stood Southampton and Pembroke.And
