Subsequently it came into the pos- session of Thomas Jefferson, and was purchased with Mr. Jeffer- son's library by Congress. These minutes only commence on the 28th of April, 161 9. In the Congressional Library there are in addition two manuscript volumes, one containing letters of the Company and the colony, with other papers, from 162 1 to 1625, and the other containing some copies of early colonial papers. These valuable manuscripts were used by Mr. Neill in the prepa- ration of his book. H...e says at page v. Of his preface, " On the 15th of July (1624), the King ordered all their [the Company's] papers to be given to a commission, which afterwards met weekly at the house of Sir Thomas Smith [the former treas- urer of the Company].

Lord Delaware should have all honor for what he did for the colony, but before his arrival Smith had three times prevented its abandonment, had pre- served it from starvation and destruction for nearly three years, and had left it, on a change of administration, in a condition to take care of itself with proper management.
