StevensThe original publication by David Beers Quinn is regarded as one of the more scholarly works on the subject. It therefore is a pity that the present offering comprises only Volume 2. The page numbering starts on 497 and runs to 1004 and a great deal is clearly missing. The promised map "Raleigh's Virginia 1584-90 In pocket at end" is missing and there is no 'pocket at end'. I await the production of Volume 1 with great interest.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
