Pelo P. André de Barros da companhia de Jesus. Lisboa. Folio. Father Vieyra was most zealous in converting the Indians of Brazil, but was much persecuted by the Portuguese inhabitants for opposing their making slaves of them as fast as they became Christians, which, it appears, they had previously been in the habit of doing as a thing of course. 13 ARTE DE NAVEGAR, &c.

This is but a small part of the author's intended work, coming down to the year 1624 only. "An appendix contains a collection of charters, relating to the period comprised in the volume. Besides the copious materials of Smith, the author derived assistance from the manuscripts of his uncle, Sir John Randolph, and from the records of the London company, put into his hands by Colonel William Byrd, president of the council, and from the valuable library of this gentleman. Mr. Stith was a man of classical learning, and a faithful historian; but he was destitute of taste in style, and his details are exceedingly minute."
