together.

Knowing all these men and taking an active part in all these important
events, Hakluyt acted wisely in inducing De Bry to modify his plan of a
separate publication and make a Collection of illustrated Voyages. He
suggested first that the separate work of Florida should be suspended,
and enlarged with Le Moyne's papers, outside of Laudonnière. Then
reprint, as a basis of the Collection, Hariot's privately printed Report
on Virginia just coming out in February 1589, and illustrate it with the
map and White's drawings. Hakluyt engaged to write descriptions of the
plates, and his geographical touches are easily recognizable in the maps
of both Virginia and Florida.

In this way De Bry was induced to make Hariot's Virginia the First Part
of his celebrated PEREGRINATIONS, with a dedication to Sir Walter
Raleigh. Florida then became the Second Part. The first was illustrated
from the portfolio of John White, and the second from that of Jaques Le
Moyne. Both parts are therefore perfectly authentic and trustworthy.
Thus the famous Collections of De Bry may be said to be of English
origin, for to Raleigh and his magi De Bry owed everything in the start
of his great work. Being thus supplied and instructed, De Bry returned
to Frankfort, and with incredible energy and enterprise, engraved,
printed, and issued his VIRGINIA in four languages, English, French,
Latin and German, in 1590, and his Florida in Latin and German, in 1591.
The bibliographical history of these books, the intimacy and dependence
of the several persons engaged; and the geographical development of
Florida-Virginia are all so intertwined and blended, that the whole
seems to lead up to Thomas Hariot, the clearing up of whose biography
thus becomes an appropriate labor of the Hercules Club.
