The first part of "The second voyage ... 1585" (p. [129]-142) is probably by Sir Richard Grenville; the remainder (p. 143-181) is by Ralph Lane. "The third voyage ... 1586" (p. [183]-186) is anonymous. "A briefe and true report of the new found land of Virginia ... by Thomas Heriot," p. [187]-244. "The fourth voyage ... 1587" (p. [245]-270) is given anonymously by Hakluyt. A letter from White to Hakluyt, accompanying his account of the fifth voyage, is here appended to the fourth voyage (p. 270-273) "The fifth voyage ... 1590" (p. [275]-299) is by "Governor" John White. |
