"The Discourse brings the story of the Virginia colony down to June 18, 1614, and contains an account of the christening of Pocahontas and her marriage to Rolfe. "The evident object of the writer was to give such an account of the condition of the colony of Virginia as should induce adventurers to embark their money, their persons, or both, in the undertaking.The author certainly shows that the colony was flourishing on 18th June, 1614, and that, especially by the marriage of Powhatan's daughter with an Englishman, it was likely to continue at peace with the Indians.The author twice mentions the calamity which befell Sir George Somers at the Bermudas.".
