"In 1585-6, Sir Richard Grenville led the first English attempt to found a colony in North America. Although this settlement was not blessed with success as a colonization attempt, it was blessed by the presence of the great recording artist John White and the scientific adviser Thomas Harriot. Together, they gave the first report of its kind which can, as Paul Hulton says in the introduction, justifiably be described as scientific in both text and illustration. This, the second in a Dover series of reprints of great rare books from Rosenwald Collection, is the unabridged reproduction of their important work."

This book has 28 engravings by Theodor de Bry after the drawings of John White and other illustrations. Soft cover book, with 91 pages.
