A colony, indeed, was actually planted under his patronage, and under the personal lead of his brother, at Sagadahoc, near the mouth of the Kennebec River, in 1607. But it remained there only a single year, and was broken up under such dis- heartening circumstances, — the Colonists on their return branding the Country ' as over-cold and not habitable by our Nation, ' — that the Adventurers gave up their designs. Five or six years later, notwithstanding, in 1614, the famous Captain John Smith, w...ho had already, under the auspices of the other of the two Com- panies, established what afterwards proved to be, rather than really then was, a permanent settlement in Southern Virginia, having founded Jamestown in 1607, was induced to visit and survey this Northern Virginia also, as it was then called. And after his return home. Captain Smith prepared and published a detailed account of the Country with a map, call- ing it for the first time, and as if to secure for it all the favor which the associations of a noble name could bestow, New England, and giving a most glowing description of the riches both of soil and sea, of forests and fisheries, which awaited the enjoyment of the settler.
