Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the first original printed book in the English language relating to the region now known as the United States of America, today referred to as Virginia, and was written by one of the skilled surveyors and mathematicians sent with the colonists by the grant owners for the express purpose of studying the land and its potential. The publication of this book was funded as a market research tool intended to entice investors into the company and convince skilled workers to settle in these new colonies. It is an early example of a statistical project on a large scale, and it contains far more interesting information than the narrative report of the President of the Colony. Its text is of great interest to historians, and its illustrations of the indigenous inhabitants and their way of life are a valuable resource for researchers. The author's insights were so significant that they profoundly impacted the way Europeans understood the potential of the new world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333053635_0
