Détails du Lot
FIRST EDITION IN LATIN, MOSTLY FIRST ISSUE (see below). Thomas Hariot's text, the first description of Virginia and North Carolina, was first published in English in 1588, an edition of which only 6 copies are known, and then here republished in Latin. John White and Thomas Hariot accompanied Sir Walter Raleigh's 1585 expedition to Roanoke. Hariot served as translator, having learned Carolina Algonquin the year before from two chiefs brought to England by Raleigh. White returned to Virginia in 1587, becoming governor, where he remained until he was forced to return to England for supplies. His return was delayed by the war with Spain, and when he returned in 1590, the colony had vanished.
