Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Colony and Ancient Dominion of Virginia As far as time would admit, some survey Of the country was made, the principal object of which was the discovery Of mines and minerals; and the admiral listened with credulity to the promises Of silver. The company being dispersed abroad, some were taken sick and died; some hid themselves in the woods, and others cut one Of the vessels out of the harbor and carried her off. At length the admiral, having collected as many Of his men as could be found, and ordered one of his vessels to remain and take Off the sick, set sail with three vessels, intending to visit Cape Breton and the Isle of Sable; but one of his vessels being lost on a sand-bank, he determined to return to England. The Squirrel, in which he had embarked for the survey of the coast, was very small and heavily laden, yet this intrepid navigator persisted in remaining on board of her, notwithstanding the urgent entreaties of his friends in the other and larger vessel, the Hind; in reply to which, he declared, that he would not de sert his little crew on the homeward voyage, after having with them passed through SO many storms and perils. And after proceeding three hundred leagues, the little bark, with the admi ral and all her crew, was lost in a storm. When last seen by the company Of the Hind, Sir Humphrey, although surrounded by imminent perils, was seated composedly on the deck with a book in his hand, and as Often as they approached within hear ing was heard to exclaim: Be Of good cheer, my friends; it is as near to heaven by sea as by land. At midnight the lights Of the little vessel suddenly disappeared, and she was seen no more. Sir Humphrey Gilbert was descended from an ancient family in Devonshire; his father was Otho Gilbert, Esq., of Greenway, and his mother, Catharine, daughter of Sir Philip Champernon, of Modbury. He was educated at Oxford, and became distinguished for courage, learning, and enterprise. Ap pointed colonel in Ireland, he displayed singular energy and ad dress. In the year 1571 he was a member of the House of Commons from Compton, his native place. He strenuously de fended the queen's prerogative against the charge Of monopoly.

Download or read book Patrician and Plebeian in Virginia written by Thomas J. Wertenbaker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Patrician and Plebeian in Virginia: Or the Origin and Development of the Social Classes of the Old Dominion The origin of the aristocracy of colonial Virginia is a subject which has caused much controversy among students of the history of the Old Dominion. It was for many years the general belief that the leading planters were the descendants of English families of high rank, and that their aristocratic instincts were their birth - right, the heritage left them by noble ancestors. Others have maintained that the best families of Virginia came from the great English middle class, and the evidences upon the debated question which have been unearthed in recent years, tend to confirm this View. The author's own studies have led him to the conclusion that but few men of rank ever came to the wilderness of Vir ginia, and that the planters were in most cases the descendants of merchant ancestors. With this as a basis he has sought to point out the operation of the economic, social and political forces that operated upon the colo nists and instilled into them those instincts of chivalry and of pride that were so pronounced at the time of the Revolution.
