The Records of the Virginia Company of London, Volume 1

The lengthy introduction, about 200 pages, gives much background information on the Virginia Company of London. This section also includes a list of "all documents, letters, publications, or other records of the Virginia Company, or relating to the company between 1616 and 1625, which the Editor has been able to discover, and also those previous to 1616 which are not published or cited by Alexander Brown in the Genesis of the United States." The bulk of the book is composed of the court records, 1619-1622. Miss Kingsbury was an instructor in history and economics at Simmons College.
