About this book
A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia describes the country's commodities and the nature and manners of its inhabitants. The address to supporters complains of variable reports and slanderous speeches circulated by people returning from the country, which the writer believes have harmed the undertaking.
The account compares strawberries with those grown in English gardens, judging them equally good and large, and mentions two sorts of grapes. The discussion of a possible source of red dye leaves its identification uncertain, since the relevant leaves had not been specially observed. The climate is described as much warmer than England's, without the violent heat sometimes found in tropical regions or close to them.
