Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Philosophical and Political History of the British Settlements and Trade in North America
England was only known in America by her piracies, which were often successful and always brilliant, when Sir Walter Raleigh conceived a project to make his nation partake of the prodigious riches which for near a century past flowed from that hemisphere into ours. That great man, who was born for bold undertakings, cast his eye on the eastern coast of North-America. The talent he had for subduing the mind by representing all his proposals in a striking light, soon procured him associates, both at court and amongst the merchants.
