From the Introduction: "The promoters of the first English settlements in the New World were shrewd enough to utilize writers and speakers -- poets, pamphleteers, playwrights, and preachers -- to advertise the virtues of the new land and to make vivid the profits which subscribers in colonial stock companies as well as emigrants might hope to gain from settlement overseas."
