Declaration of the Council for Virginia, May 7th, 1623. Burk's Hist, of Va. , i. , 319. H. ] t This book is entitled "A Counterblast to Tobacco, " and is printed in a folio volume of the works of King James. In this VOL. II. P 170 AMERICAN BIOGRAPHY.
The Virginia Company themselves were opposed to its cultivation, and readily admit- ted various projects for encouraging other productions of more immediate use and ben- efit to mankind. As the country naturally yielded mulberry-trees and vines, it... was thought that silk and wine might be manu- factured to advantage. To facilitate these projects, eggs of the silk-worm were procu- red from the southern countries of Europe; books on the subject were translated from foreign languages ; persons skilled in the management of silk-worms and the cultiva- tion of vines were engaged ; and, to crown all, a royal order from King James, enclosed in a letter from the treasurer and council, was sent over to Virginia, with high expecta- tions of success. But no exertions or author- ity could prevail to make the cultivation of tobacco yield to that of silk and wine ; and, after the trade of the colony was laid open, and the Dutch had free access to their ports, the growth of tobacco received such encour- agement as to become the grand staple of the colony.
